KOHË's Brussels correspondent, Augustin Palokaj, commented on the visit of the EU special envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Peter Sorensen. Palokaj said that his visit after the elections, when institutions are expected to be formed quickly, means that the ground is being tested to continue with a high-level meeting.
"The fact that he is visiting Kosovo immediately after the elections, when it is expected that institutions will be formed quickly because there is no longer any uncertainty, the fact that he has talked in Kosovo with all the factors; both with the incumbent government and with the winner of the elections and with the opposition parties and with the president and all the important factors in Kosovo means that he wants to test the ground to continue the dialogue and possibly organize a high-level meeting," Palokaj said.
Palokaj, on the "Interaktiv" show on KTV, stated that there is no doubt that there is an expectation that the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia will continue.
Palokaj emphasizes that more than two years have passed since no high-level meeting has taken place and that in a way it is also a failure of the EU High Representative, Kaja Kallas.
"His (Peter Sorensen) mandate is expiring soon, while they have extended it for at least two more years. There is no doubt that the EU wants the process to continue. The process has not borne any fruit in 2025. There are expectations that it will be revived. When this is said, in a way it is an admission that the dialogue is almost dead and there has been no proper movement so far. More than two years have passed since the last high-level meeting in the dialogue process was held and without such meetings there cannot be any significant movement in the dialogue process. This is in a way also a failure of the EU High Representative Kaja Kallas, who has been in this position for more than a year and has not organized a single meeting," Palokaj said in "Interaktiv" on KTV.
However, Palokaj emphasized that in the EU, the blame and responsibility for the failure to hold any high-level meetings in the EU are left to Kosovo and Serbia, citing the phrase "when the right conditions are created."
