The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has warned of measures against Kosovo and Serbia if they "do not behave responsibly".
Macron, in his anniversary speech before the ambassadors, said that he thinks that the Brussels agreement, known as the "Franco-German" proposal, is the right way and that the parties must be committed.
He called for the parties to re-engage for the organization of new elections in the four municipalities in the north of Kosovo, for the Serbs to return to the institutions of Kosovo, and he also mentioned the formation of the Association. He said that they expect from the Kosovo authorities that "peace will return" to this part.
In the end, Macron stated that France and Germany have made commitments on visa policies and other economic issues in the event that Serbia and Kosovo "fail to behave responsibly".
"As for the differences between Kosovo and Serbia, and I believe that this is a good guide, it has been supported by European negotiators and our representatives, so we require full commitment from both sides. Any commitment to the organization of new local elections, the re-engagement of Serbs in the institutions of Kosovo, the recognition of municipalities in the North of Serbia, on behalf of the Kosovo authorities. We expect that peace will return to this part. France and Germany have made commitments regarding visa policies and other economic issues, which will be reviewed if the parties fail to behave responsibly. We must be especially vigilant in this aspect, especially when it comes to stability in the Western Balkans," Macron said.
