Jelko Kacin predicts the creation of two new states during Slovenia’s EU presidency: Kosovo and Palestine. The European Parliament rapporteur for Serbia said that both of these new states would be formed during the first six months of 2008, when Slovenia heads the EU. EP rapporteur predicts two new countries in early 2008 “A state of neurosis currently reigns in Serbia, but none of the politicians have the courage to say that an internationally recognized state will be formed in the Balkans,” Kacin said. He said that the “neurotic state” was also tied to the pre-election situation in Serbia and the messages from the international community that there would be no progress on the road to EU integration for Serbia until Hague fugitive Ratko Mladic was arrested and extradited. The rapporteur said that Kosovo independence would occur in the first half of 2008 during Slovenia’s EU presidency, adding that “turbulent times” lay ahead. He said that recognition of Kosovo’s independence was vital for stability in the Balkans’ and the region’s progress towards European integration. “Now all those countries are victims of Serbia’s fate and Kosovo’s unresolved status,” Kacin said.
