Time of partitions is gone

Head of the Kosovo Assembly Jakup Krasniqi rejected the possibility of Kosovo splitting into two whereby Serbia and Albania would each get one part. “The request of Serbian officials that Serbia should discuss with Albania over splitting of Kosovo is too late, by at least twenty years or more,” said Krasniqi. He said that when there was the time for talks, the Serbian politicians demanded to march all the way to Tirana. Krasniqi said talks between Kosovo and Serbia should focus on mutual recognitions.

While former Prime Minister of Montenegro, and current leader of the Democratic Party of Socialists, Milo Djukanovic, said in an interview for Dnevnik that relations between Kosovo and Serbia are an open issue that should be resolved. “When I say this, I do not think that the solution lays on making pressure to Belgrade to recognize Kosovo’s independence, because I do understand that Serbia is not currently ready to do this,” said Djukanovic adding that a solution should be found. Asked about the division of Kosovo Djukanovic said “Serbia, starting from reality, should recognize Kosovo’s independence, then the two countries should turn towards future and Euro Atlantic integrations.
