Negotiator: EU date not Serbia's Pyrrhic victory

“The negotiating framework envisages the obligation of Belgrade and Priština to refrain from hindering each other's EU path and such obstacles were not posed so far,” Miščević said.

Miscevic failed to mention that the April agreement also required Serbia not to obstruct the Republic of Kosova's path to the UN and other international organizations. However, to no avail, Serbia continues to attempt to prevent Kosova's efforts to join the UN, thereby violating the agreement.

"...a major triumph for Serbia and not a Pyrrhic victory."

Pathetic words for a simple thing. Maybe Serbia should ask itself or its (former) politicians why it took so long, having in mind that Slovenia is EU member for almost 10 years now and Croatia joined the EU this year.

Why don't Serbs particularly ask this question to the Serbian academy of sciences: What would have happened if only Serbia didn't start all the wars, For certain Yugoslavia would have been in EU already ahead of Greece, Spain and Portugal. We were light years ahead from these states and look at us now. And I am not just talking about the Serbs but all the nationalities that compromised Yugoslavia. A collective failure with some to blame more and with some to blame less but nonetheless a collective failure.

When will these 'Kosova Albanians' finally realize that Serbia has NO SAY AT ALL when it comes to decide about a new UN member state? Probably never!

And I am not surprised at all that the UNSC veto powers Russia and China won't grant access membership to a new state unilaterally created by a secessionist group or people belonging to an ethnic minority.

Maybe your so-called 'Kosova politicians' should travel to South Sudan to find out how it is done to become an UN member state after one(1) week of independence? And no, Pacolli doesn't need to bring a suitcase with $$$ for doing so.

You fail to understand that Russia and China are in no position to veto anything. With the price of oil dropping precipitously, it will cost Russia more to pump oil than its going price, i.e. Russia is a high cost producer. Also, with the West threatening to boycott the Sochi Olympics, Putin is humiliated once again. If you hadn't noticed, Russia is in serious financial trouble and may end up worse off than she was in the early 1990's. As for China, her economy is about to enter a serious recession. The financial inexperience of her leaders is finally coming home to roost. Just ask "sj" if you don't believe me.

talking about failure, well, I hope you won't fail to explain how economic problems lead to a loss of veto power or the inability to use the veto at the UNSC.

Please also don't fail to prove to us your claim that China is "about to enter a serious recession" (regardless of what she does with her veto). power.

Starting talks with the EU, is a historic event for Serbia. It is very important that Serbia now go carefully through legislative changes and their compliance with EU law, in order to avoid some hasty modifications strategic law before it takes weakened future position in society, EU member states. I believe that the reform process will be accelerated, and that as the country prepares point of entry into the EU and the standard of the citizens to grow and improve the quality of life.

Serbia didn't destroy Yugoslavia or start the war. The reawakening of Slovenian and Croatian nationalism did that.

@Com.Parrisson,

Can you explain me why China and Russia will veto Kosovo membership to UN,if Serbia is OK with it?What international law is being violated, if Serbia says Yes and agrees not to stop Kosovo to enter in UN?

Secondly,
Either u don't know enough history or you dont want to ,but South Sudan didnt become a state in 1 week.
It took 50 years war and more 2 million dead people,for South Sudan to become e member of UN in 1 week.If u wish this for Serbia and Kosovo,I am sorry but I am not for 50 years war and millions of dead serbs and albanians.
Read the history before constantly spreading hatered against albanians.
Btw Marry Christmas!
