No more than the Pope

J. Borrell does well to think better about the analogy of "more Catholic than the Pope" when talking about human and territory trafficking agreements

The head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell echoed John Bolton, former national security adviser, and not any lover of Europe and Kosovo, when asked what the EU's position would be on a deal between Kosovo and Serbia brokered by The EU, which would include the exchange of territories and population. Bolton's position in 2018 was that the US could not be opposed if the presidents of Serbia and Kosovo agreed to this. Borrell's position was that the EU could not become more Catholic than the Pope. So, if Thaçi and Vuçiqi believed that this would be the best way to solve the problems between Kosovo and Serbia, the EU could not be placed as an obstacle to their mutual trust.

With this, the European diplomat, as well as the American one before him, came to describe the intellectual shallowness and political energy of their commitment. If the presidents of Kosovo and Serbia think that the problem between them is solved by reducing the Serbian population in Kosovo and the Albanian population in Serbia, and if the US and the EU would accept this, then it seems that they do not intend to invest any can bigger further. The EU does not need to send mediators like Lajcak to the presidents of Kosovo and Serbia, a cartographer is enough.
