It takes 11 hours 58 minutes and 30 seconds to read out the names of those killed in #Srebrenica genocide. 11 hours, 58 minutes and 30 seconds. 📷 #StoTeNema ŠTO TE NEMA (a cup of coffee for each of the 8372 victims)
.peacefare.net: “Trump Administration has favoured the partition policy. Kosovo’s partition risks also Bosnia, Montenegro and even Macedonia. Those cannot happen peacefully and risk triggering a war.”
.Doarsa Kica: “Being right does not seem to be enough. If we cannot convince our allies, our position will be isolated.”
.Doarsa Kica: “We have abandoned the successful policy of the 90s to convince allies and instead have switched to copying Serbian tactics which cannot function in our case.”
.Ditmir Bushati: “There was much hope that there would be a zeitenwende in EU policy in Western Balkans as well and consolidate the region. That would include recognition of Kosova and democratization of Serbia. However, so far it has not materialized.”
.Ditmir Bushati: “Many politicians in the Western Balkans have bet on a Trump comeback. However, their topics of interests are not Kosova-Serbia dialogue, but rule of law and commercial interests.”
.Ditmir Bushati: “President Vucic understands the new realities of the world order very well. He is neither interested nor incentivised to conduct sincere dialogue with Kosova.”
.Ditmir Bushati: “There is not much that Kosova could do differently in dialogue, except tactical changes. There is increased skepticism in the EU with regard to Kosova, even from recognising states.”
.Sonja Biserko: “Recently there has been a revival of the “Serbian World” idea in Serbian political scene. Belgrade is waiting for the change of international circumstances to resolve the Kosova issue on its terms. For the first time Kosovar Serbs are becoming Kosovar citizens.”
.Sonja Biserko: “Kosovar government should offer economic investments in the north to sever the reliance of local Serbs on Belgrade. This would enable their full integration.
.Sonja Biserko: “Association is an ethnic division and has failed as a policy in Bosnia. Serbia on the other hand is an extremely centralized state and it should decentralize. Minorities in Serbia live in segregation.”
.peacefare.net: Serwer: “The only viable long term solution for the dialogue is mutual recognition. But that is not feasible in the moment so Kosova should focus on practical issues.”
.peacefare.net: “Serbia would be best served by resolving the ‘Serbian question’. That is deeply connected to solving the ‘Kosova question’. There needs to be a joint US-EU council to supervise implementation of the agreements.”
.peacefare.net: “It should be clear to President Biden that appeasement has not worked and will not work with neither Milosevic nor Vucic. Directness and bluntness are indeed much more effective with Belgrade.”
.Sonja Biserko: “From the Baltics, through Ukraine all the way to the Western Balkans there is potential for conflict. EU needs to wake up and get out of its comfort zone.”
