Deputy PM Božidar Đelić and EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule stated in Brussels that Serbia has made a great progress regarding its EU candidate status.
Concessions to albanians and some world powers is like giving up your soul.
Land for recognition. Is the only solution for albanians.
Only real countries can take part in interregional meetings, thus not Kosovo.
What was it that Chamerberlain said? "Peace in our time".
Serbia doesn't need the EU to clean itself up and should be doing so regardless. It knows what it has to do. Look at its neighbors. Bg has been slammed for doing effectively nothing against corruption, organized crime and rule of law, Ro mainly for the latter yet both are EU members. The Dutch say they will veto both of them joining Schengen. Croatia will get membership despite its continued widespread discrimination of non-Croats. Albanian is hopeless and cite a report by Balkan Insite that quotes several hundred albanian judges are under police protection.
Yet everyone but the serbs get special treatment from Brussels and the big powers. So much for 'rule of law'.
I suggest hitting the Quint in the wallet. KFOR and EULEX cost big money so asymetric tactics should be more effectively be used in Kosovo. Trade with Pristina is not essential nor is as claimed hundreds of millions of euros 'lost' because of Pristina's bans. Serbia's wheat attracts top dollar rates and there are many alternative buyers. Alternative markets can be found for the other products and as has been reported on B92, korean and other non-european firms see Serbia as a good investment opportunity. Sure, Pristina can get goods from Bulgaria etc. but there is a significant markup in price that will fuel inflation and effectively mean less cash in the pocket. That is why 'business men' in Pristina are looking forward to the end of the albanian trade ban of serb products.
Twin this with Thaci's 20% increase in public sector salaries means that it is only a matter of time before 'Kosova's' economy will implode. So who will pick up the bill? The Serbs? Selling good to Pristina is subsidizing Thaci and his criminal class. It should stop. As should selling electricity unless Serbia ups the price by enough to cover the short term losses their exports will experience.
The mantra on 'good neighborly relations' has been publicly shown not to apply to Pristina nor taken seriously by Brussels and Washington as recent actions of KFOR and EULEX show they have abandoned any pretence of acting in a status neutral manner.
So like Bosnia that almost went bankrupt and had to be saved by Brussels, Pristina will face the same issues. The West will have to pick up the bill. The Serbs position is strengthened as the only influence the Quint have is Belgrade's wish to join the EU as what is seems as almost any cost, though Serbia will not be joining apparently until 2019, it has much more time than either Pristina or the Quint have. If they want a happy clappy ex-Yugo, then they can pay for it out of their own pockets.
The EU is falling apart and will not be around by the time they are ready to accept Serbia into their sinking club. Serbs PLEASE do not fall for this in the next elections, THEY ARE LYING TO YOU.
You are supposed to read Serbia getting closer to the EU and to automatically think "oh great, progress" there is no progress its all a farce.
