BELGRADE – Serbia will look into a European Union plan that proposes normalising ties with Kosovo as it risks losing its chance to join the bloc, President Aleksandar Vucic said.
Belgrade’s refusal to recognise Kosovo, which broke away after they fought a 1998-1999 war, is a key stumbling block to Serbia joining the EU. But Serbia would have to stop lobbying against Kosovo’s membership in international bodies, according a draft of the document published by the Danas newspaper.
“I consider that this is the only way to break the vicious cycle of crisis on the ground and to reduce the risk for further escalation.” With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine highlighting the risk of a renewed conflict, it has bolstered resolve among the EU and US to create a solution, Mr Vucic said.
