The European Union has ready the package of sanctions for Kosovo. Free Europe writes that after tensions in the North, Brussels will impose restrictions on Pristina and government officials.
The sanctions will include the suspension of invitations for Kosovo's participation in high-level events and bilateral visits by the European Union and member countries. There will be meetings only when they need to be held to focus on addressing the crisis in northern Kosovo and steps to find a solution.
The other sanction is expected to include the joint work of the groups that exist between Kosovo and the EU, which were created on the basis of the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA).
The meeting of a sub-committee, the one for trade, industry, customs and taxes, which was supposed to be held on June 8, but which did not take place, has already been suspended. The next meeting, which is expected to be suspended, is the one on June 21 and 22, of the sub-commission for justice, freedom and security.
There will also be financial consequences for Kosovo. A significant suspension of financing by the EU of several projects for which Kosovo has given proposals within the Investment Fund for the Western Balkans is planned.
The EU, as a sanction against Kosovo, has planned to reduce the level of public presence in joint developments and events where members of the Government of Kosovo participate. This measure is expected to include meetings within the framework of financial cooperation.
Otherwise, the tensions in the north have increased since May 26, when the Kosovo Police helped the Albanian mayors of the Zveçan, Zubin Potok and Leposaviq municipalities to settle in the municipal facilities, despite the resistance of the local residents.
