Vucic: Franco-German proposal, difficult for Serbia
The President of Serbia, Aleksander Vucic

The President of Serbia, Aleksander Vucic, said that Serbia does not reject talks with Kosovo, but that what he has seen from the Franco-German proposal is "very difficult for Serbia".

"If I had to make a decision at this moment... they didn't give us a chance. I hope that in the next document, they will at least give us a chance," Vucic told Serbian television, TV Prva.

He did not clarify what document is expected.

About a month ago, information appeared in the public opinion that France and Germany have offered the leaders in Pristina and Belgrade a proposal on how to resolve the disputes between the two countries.

However, the proposal was not made public and it is not known what exactly it contains.

The embassies of France and Germany in Kosovo did not confirm the existence of any such document.

"When the representatives of [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz and [French President Emmanuel] Macron came to me for the first time, I refused to receive the letter, if I knew... because I assumed that the Albanians would publish it. I was told that the letter was secret. "Everyone is clear about who violated the agreement," said Vucic.

The President of Serbia said that he hopes that the version he will receive from the representatives of the Quint countries - the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy - will be different from the one published in the Albanian media, but he did not specify further a lot.

Several articles circulated in the media in Kosovo, according to which, the Franco-German proposal does not provide for the recognition of Kosovo by Serbia, but provides for the recognition of Kosovo by the five EU member states that have not done so - Spain, Romania, Cyprus, Greece and Slovakia.

Vucic said on October 8 that France and Germany have proposed that Serbia allow Kosovo's entry into international institutions and organizations, in exchange for quick membership in the European Union.

Vucic said that this is unacceptable for Serbia, but added that "it is irresponsible and frivolous to throw the Franco-German proposal out the window".

Speaking on Thursday to TV Prva, he reiterated that "there are various details that are mentioned in the offers".

"...they offer us open access to the EU, but not to oppose Kosovo's membership in the UN", he said, among other things.

Commenting on the statement of the US special envoy for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, that reaching an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia on the way forward is a matter of weeks and not years, Vučić said that he heard this in many conversations, but that he doesn't think it's real, because, according to him, Prishtina should fulfill what was foreseen by the Brussels Agreement: to form the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority.

For this association, Kosovo and Serbia reached an agreement in 2013, within the dialogue for the normalization of relations.

However, the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, at the end of 2015, found that some of its conclusions are in conflict with the laws of Kosovo, but that they can be harmonized through a statute.

Current leaders in Kosovo insist that an association with executive powers would be harmful to the country.

Kosovo and Serbia, with the mediation of the European Union and the support of the USA, are in negotiations for the normalization of relations since 2011.

They have reached dozens of agreements, but the implementation of most has stalled.

In Kosovo they say that the final agreement with Serbia will have to include mutual recognition, but in Serbia, for now, they oppose such a thing./REL
