Kosovo statehood analysts: Vucic will recognize him, he is just preparing the ground

He also noted that governments do not have the luxury of choosing priorities and that Europe expects dialogue to continue. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that “he does not understand where the compromise is in the mutual recognition of Belgrade and Pristina” and that “the compromise can not be a statement, as Gjuro will apologize to you, that he beat you.” He believes that the Albanian side is not ready for an agreement, but is satisfied that it is ready for dialogue. On this occasion, the President of Serbia promoted a new phrase for the solution of the Kosovo problem “no one all, but enough for everyone”, which is another variant on the topic “more than autonomy, and less than independence”.

This leads analysts to think that the president of Serbia is ready to recognize Kosovo in some form, if Serbia will get something in return. Dejan Bursaç from the Institute for Political Studies tells DW that “he does not see that Brussels will be able to revive the dialogue, unless a little more pressure is exerted, and this pressure can not be exerted by Brussels without the US”. “Here, according to him, the question arises as to how Albin Kurti will present himself, who presents himself to the internal public opinion as someone who opposes the West, but on the other hand is someone who consults the US and Germany on everything”, says Bursaç . While according to the directors of the Institute for European Affairs, Naim Leo Beshiri, at the moment the purpose of this dialogue for Serbia is only how to find a model, according to which Belgrade will implicitly or explicitly recognize Kosovo. Vuçiç, he says, has been trying for several years to prepare the ground for this, through various institutions that have so far opposed this, such as the church, the army, or even the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
