@Reuters The President of Serbia is a proponent of the Greater Serbia idea, an ideology that originated in the 19th century and was later advanced by figures such as Nikola Pašić and Slobodan Milošević.
@Andric1961 The next "minus," in my view, should be Novi Pazar, the Preševo Valley, and Vojvodina. Those represent the borders of the Serbian nation-state as recognized at the Congress of Berlin. That is what I consider the real Serbia.
The photograph of European Council President A. Costa, featuring in the background the so-called Yugoslav “Brotherhood and Unity” monument alongside an Ottoman-era mosque, suggests a subtle bias among some European officials regarding Kosovo’s identity.
Today I am in Pristina to reaffirm the EU’s continued support to Kosovo.
I will meet the acting President @albulenahaxhiu_ , the caretaker Prime Minister @albinkurti and leaders of opposition parties.
As Kosovo heads to elections this weekend, my message is simple: our partnership comes with responsibility.
I encourage political leaders to make EU integration a priority, beyond political divisions, and to work together towards this shared goal.
Kosovo needs strong, stable and functioning institutions capable of implementing reforms, seizing the opportunities the European Union offers and delivering on all Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue commitments.
@Andric1961 Martens also agreed that this approach is not substantive. The European integration of the Western Balkans has now entered its fourth decade—about as long as the Cold War lasted. What happened to the Thessaloniki promise made 23 years ago? The EU is moving slowly….!
