Escobar: Vucic will convince the Serbs to participate in the elections
Gabriel Escobar

The special envoy of the United States for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, said that the situation in the north of Kosovo should be de-escalated immediately.

"The mayors should not use the [municipal] buildings, the Kosovo Police should withdraw from the area around [these] buildings and the protesters should leave," Escobar said during a press conference in Belgrade.

"We hope there will be new elections and we want the Serbs to participate in them without preconditions," he added.
Escobar said that Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vucic, assured him that he would use his influence to convince Serbs to participate in the eventual elections.

"The biggest challenge for Serbia is to convince the Serbs to return to [Kosovo's] institutions. Now this is where I think we are aligned with Serbia. We need to make sure that those who participate in the elections and Serbs returning to institutions are welcome," said the senior American official.

Asked if there is any answer from the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, regarding the European proposal for the extension of the situation in the north, Escobar said that the discussions between the Government of Kosovo and the EU's special representative for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajçak , will continue even after the latter's departure from Belgrade today.

"I don't know if there has been any concrete response from the Government of Kosovo. I hope that the Government of Kosovo understands that what we are trying to achieve is a stable and mutually beneficial result for both countries", said Escobar.

He said that Kosovo and Serbia should return to the dialogue for the normalization of relations, because "if they turned their backs on him, they would turn their backs on Europe".

"This, in itself, is a very serious consequence," he said.
