The German MEP, Michael Gahler, has severely criticized the approach of the European Union mediator, Miroslav Lajcak, in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. He said that the Brussels emissary is more on the side of the aggressor, specifically Serbia, than Kosovo, which according to him is a country that has made progress and whose policy is 100% with the EU.
"I have followed your activity since the time you took office... I see you more on the side of the aggressor, not the victim, in the relationship between Serbia and Kosovo. Do you feel the trust of Serbs and Kosovars", said the MEP.
What I don't know, Mr. Lajcak, is your reaction to the Serbian president and his government. Shouldn't you have publicly criticized Vučić as well? Shouldn't the EU have stopped or threatened to cut financial aid?
Shouldn't you turn to Serbian nationalism, which is the main cause of insecurity and fear throughout the Western Balkans? "Kosovo is open to a balanced solution with Serbia, but it is looking for honest mediators who do not 'soften' the Serbian president," he said.
The EU's special envoy for dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, in the debate at the European Parliament's Foreign Policy Committee, asserted that Brussels can no longer tolerate any kind of instability.
While asserting that the escalation still continues in the municipalities in the north of the country, Lajcak mentioned the violence that Serbian protesters used against the security institutions, the Police and KFOR, as well as against journalists, and said that they expect a genuine criminal investigation and punishment for the persons responsible. But as a whole, due to the developments in the north, he emphasized that the image of countries aiming for European integration was damaged.
"I'm seeing violent acts that may re-emerge because the escalation continues to happen. Without an agreement on de-escalation we cannot return to the implementation of dialogue. We are at a crossroads of EU-facilitated dialogue. It is unfortunate that we have to deal with crisis management in the north of Kosovo again, and this, precisely at the time when we should be focusing on Russian aggression against Ukraine. It is unfortunate that the current crisis is occurring at a time when we had a clear platform for normalization. Kosovo and Serbia must refrain from actions that have consequences for security and distract them from issues that are really important", said Lajçak.
