BELGRADE Serbia’s Deputy PM Rasim Ljajic has said that the ruling coalition agrees that a plan for Kosovo offered by the EU was not satisfactory. He said that if the offer was accepted, it would only be because the other alternatives “are even worse”. Ruling coalition agrees EU’s offer is “unacceptable” “The plan is unacceptable and there are no differences regarding that among us. If we accepted the bad plan, it would only be because alternatives of the rejection of the bad plan were even worse and less acceptable,” Ljajic told Beta news agency. He noted that Serbia needed to take care of its internal political stability and continue the EU integration. “It would be a huge mistake to stop the EU pathway regardless of how this will end,” the deputy PM said. He said he did not think that a “catastrophic scenario” was possible if Serbia rejected the EU’s offer but that the country would enter a phase of insecurity, uncertainty and would be behind on the EU pathway. Ljajic reiterated that there was not a lot of time and that members of the ruling coalition needed to make a final decision soon. “Consultations in the ruling coalition should be held in the next several days, some early session will probably be held where the government will voice its opinion on the plan,” the deputy PM explained. He said he was not sure that the plan for northern Kosovo that Serbia had been offered in Brussels could be significantly changed but that Serbia needed to do everything it could to modify, change and clear some elements of the plan. Ljajic said that the “experience teaches us that every next plan is even worse”. He stressed that one needed to be careful what would happen in three-four years if Serbia rejected the plan now. “We need to make sure that this historic ‘no’ does not turn into a historic ‘yes’ in three or four years but with lost three or four years and a solution that is no better than this one,” he added. The deputy prime minister said that Serbia needed to “stay in the game” in order to “improve the position of the Serb community in Kosovo and enable all forms of protection and increase in their individual and collective rights”.
