Pristina-based Albanian language newspaper Koha Ditore writes on Tuesday that the letter states that "before the strategy is finalized, there should be clear timelines and criteria that Kosovo needs to meet during the integration process."
“If we take part in dialogue and if we are a factor of peace and stability in the region, we meet internal criteria, we implement the SAA, the question arises how we are going to be rewarded. It is very important for us that at the end of dialogue, both Kosovo and Serbia to get rewards of the same state importance. In any other scenario, dialogue would be meaningless,” Hoxhaj wrote, Tanjug reported, citing UNMIK's Media Observer.
EC's representatives on Tuesday had no comment, other than advising "to wait."
According to spokesperson Maja Kocijancic, the strategy, to be unveiled in early February, "covers the whole region, and the document should first be presented, and then, in line with procedures, opinions of member-states will be heard."
Pristina wants "same rewards as Belgrade" from EU
Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj says he sent a letter to EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn, on behalf of the Kosovo government.
Be careful of what y'all are asking for and the kind of reward they give you. Dealing with the EU and their Enlargement Commission is just smoke and mirrors.

One of the region’s (rare) successful political moves was from the Serbs, who strategically toned-down their rhetoric, lowered their volume and let the narrow minded Albanian nationalists destroy themselves. Recent knee-jerk reactions from Pristina regarding EU accession, visas, KLA courts, corrupt judiciaries among a litany of other failures is that start of a downward trajectory whose nadir will define new depths of isolation for an irrelevant corner of the Balkans.

"Pristina wants "same rewards"?? Sure, how about bread and water in you newly "independent" prison? This is just another nail in the Albanian coffin!
(Kosovo is Serbia!, 31 January 2018 00:48)
With an ally like España this so called Kosovo* will be the fake state it is today as is always will be. Be happy we gave you autonomy.
The issue EU politicians have is supporting Kosovo* in order to get rid of them from their own countries, has now set a precedent that others are trying to use for illegal breakaway.
So EU double standards stand out like dogs balls.

The EU is a club. No one is making them join. The club sets the conditions, usually written down. If they start making shit up or twisting vague phrases in to very specific ones ('good neighborly relations') then they are taking the piss. If you let them. But here, we have Pristina demanding something not based on their own actions, or lack thereof, but because they demand it. Nothing but a childish tantrum.

Listen to the rant... Equal equal equal demands azir...interesting set of demands by this toad. Sorry pizza delivery boy, NO. Europe is wasting its time on this half orc tribe of squatters. Give them nothing, take everything.

You'd be insulting if you weren't so obliviously inconsistent in your sh!tposts :)
(LOL, 30 January 2018 20:15)
Kosovo is, was and always will be Serbian so don't worry so much Albanian people about integration into EU, I only desire to see the Serbian population back to normal in Kosovo and living safe !!!

To begin with albanians in Kosovo should accept the special crimes court for uck warcrimes during the war. Seems like albanians want a free ride to the EU. Serbia cooperated with the Hague and albanians need to do the same. UCK was and still is a criminal and terrorist enterprice.
(Hank the Tank, 30 January 2018 18:11)
hahahaahaaa. Seriously, you Albanians have such an extreme lack of self awareness that you're actually severely delusional. Medicate with something other than the heroin you distribute throughout Europe. "Albanians are Illyrians", "Kosovo is Albanian", "Albanians have a glorious history", "Albanians are the original settlers of the Balkans". HAHAHAHAAAAHAA gloriously hilarious.
(Dragan in Chicago, 30 January 2018 17:45)
Well, considering the fact that walking forward in the ascension process means that Kosovo and Serbia have to make agreements between themselves it falls natural that they both get granted same rewards.
Or we can just stop the dialogue? Would Serbia play an unfair game? No. Than don't expect it from others, friends as enemies.
(Illyria, 30 January 2018 17:43)
The reality is that Serbia will become the EU member state much, much earlier than Kosovo. Serbs will be disappointed with what we gained from it, like Poles or Hungarians today, and we will vote for some nationalists again, like they do. Those politicians will block Kosovo's membership and that's where Kosovo's Europan journey ends. So, just forget about it and start searching for alternatives. I mean, it's not hard to predict this.
(Bojan, 30 January 2018 17:23)
I thought Kosovo separated from Belgrade because it wanted to be treated different from Belgrade. Now it wants the "same rewards" because it knows it made a fatal mistake. Everyone knew it was a mistake expect for them.
