Ready for another round of endless talks that feel like a rerun of a bad movie? Petar Petković, director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić both met with the UK’s special envoy for the Western Balkans, Karen Pierce, at a time when the situation on the ground looks like it’s about to blow up.
Petković made it clear that the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija face daily terror and violence from Priština, which stubbornly refuses to implement Brussels agreements and pursues a policy of unilateral moves. So much for “dialogue” — it seems to be just a phrase for Priština while they systematically dismantle everything agreed upon.
Vučić, on the other hand, posted on Instagram that Serbia is ready to continue open and constructive dialogue, thanking the UK for its strategic approach to the region and support for Serbia’s European path. But is this just diplomatic talk or is there really a chance for peace?
What’s especially maddening is that Priština has refused for 12 years to form the Community of Serbian Municipalities, a key part of the agreement. So much for respecting deals!
The situation is tense, talks continue, but does anyone really believe anything will change? Or is this just another show for the public while chaos continues on the ground?
Got your own take on this never-ending circus? Share it — maybe together we’ll find a way out of this vicious cycle!
