BELGRADE Faculty of Political Sciences professor Predrag Simic says as far as the EU is concerned, the job relating to the Belgrade-Pristina negotiations is done. He added that if the talks continued, it would probably be under the baton of Washington. EU considers Belgrade-Pristina talks “over“ He told Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) on Wednesday that the sides had gone a long way for a short time, so some time was needed for the public in Serbia and Pristina to adjust to the situation. “As for Serbia, such outcome of the talks does not instill much hope that a report (of the European Commission) would be positive to the extent needed for the Commission to recommend the country for getting a starting date for EU entry talks. That complicates the situation,” Simic underlined. He added that if the situation was considered realistically, one could not have expected a miracle in Brussels, but something moved forward, so meetings between politicians of Belgrade and Pristina could be expected. “I think that we would have meetings of politicians from Pristina and Belgrade in the coming days, and maybe we will activate liaison officers,” Simic said. He noted that Pristina was unyielding because Washington took the stand that it did not want another Republic of Srpska (one of the two entities in Bosnia-Herzegovina) in the Balkans.
