Serbian political analyst Dusan Janjic said that Kosovo and Serbia should make a joint calculation of how much the process of normalizing relations between the two countries will cost, including issues of property, pensions, health and social insurance.
In a conversation on the "PIKË" podcast with the publicist Veton SurroiJanjic said that such a calculation would help determine the responsibilities of both parties, but also the involvement of the European Union in resolving inherited issues.
He suggested that the Kosovo Government express its readiness to resolve mutual compensation claims, noting that the issue of property and social rights remains complicated. Janjic also said that it would be important to create legislation for minorities as part of efforts to normalize relations.
"So, it would be good if a calculation were made of how much normalization would cost, and Belgrade would do this and show it to the Europeans, and they would do a lot if they created what they don't have, legislation for minorities," Janjic said.
He also mentioned the problem of properties that, according to him, have been transferred from the European Union to Kosovo institutions, emphasizing that a legal basis must be found for resolving these issues. Janjic assessed that the process should also include issues of pensions, health and social insurance for people who have worked in Serbian enterprises.
According to him, neither Kosovo nor Serbia can cover all financial obligations related to these issues alone, while the European Union does not currently have a special fund for normalization.

"They in the EU are silent on the issue of succession. I know why the nationalists in Serbia rejected it, Serbia will lose a lot, but the status of the properties that the EU has transferred to the Kosovo institutions is problematic from the aspect of the unfinished denationalization into private property; secondly, the transfer without legal basis, I know that spin-off... they are not returned, but a basis must be found... we will not be able to cover the pensions, health and social insurance of everyone, even those who have worked in Serbian enterprises, etc., while the EU does not even have funds for normalization," he declared.
He also spoke about the possibility of cooperation between Kosovo and Serbia in opening war archives, with the aim of clarifying the fate of forcibly disappeared persons and identifying mass graves.
