Serbia has reached an agreement with the
European Union on visa liberalization without including Kosovo, informs
the European Union integration commission in Brussels.
The agreement includes full operational border control and customs between Serbia and its neighbors, Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia.
Serbia has agreed to set up a full operational border and custom control with its southern neighbor, the Republic of Kosovo. Serbia's interior minister during a press conference emphasized that Serbia has agreed to set up a border and custom control with Kosovo as one of the requirements by the European Union commission.
The statement was followed up by the EULEX chief and the Republic of Kosovo government that customs and border control with Serbia in northern Kosovo will be fully operational by the fall as well.
NKR has learned from diplomatic sources in Prishtina and Brussels that Belgrade has agreed to have fully operational border control with Kosovo. Belgrade has a deadline to implement the agreement by fall when the EU Parliament gives the final word on the visa liberalization, with full border control as a precondition for any state to have visa abolition with the EU.
When Kosovo declared independence last year, Serbia reacted stating that it will never recognize Kosovo's independence. Yesterday during a press conference, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo Hashim Thaci said that "Serbia is considering recognizing Kosovo," without emphasizing recent events such as full customs and border control between Kosovo and Serbia and the invalidity of Serb passports for Kosovar citizens.
Meanwhile, thousands of Kosovars of Serb ethnicity are applying for Kosovo IDs, birth certificates and the Republic of Kosovo passports.

... Serbia to set border and customs control with Kosovo, without recognizing the Republic of Kosovo??!!! Is there a borderline and where is this borderline between Serbia and Kosovo? Does Kosova is able to enforce this borderline? Recognition of independence is unjustified if it does not result in new state institutions that are ... able to enforce legislation over the whole territory ... http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8100 If Russian troops entered Serbia to enforce Serbian borders including Kosovo.... would you agree that the NATO garrison of more than 15,000 troops in Kosovo together with private mercenaries under contract to NATO and the UN, are on hand to enforce the installation of an independent Kosovar government, and protect the borders … Don’t forget, there are 7000 French Troops of N.A.T.O contingent whom created the situation in the North Mitrovica … http://www.europeanvoice.com/article/imported/an-incomplete-independence/64037.aspx As long as the issue of north Mitrovica remains unsettled, Kosovo's status will remain in doubt. Sooner or later, old plans for ‘swapping' the north with three Albanian-majority municipalities in Serbia might be dusted off again. This would constitute the first ever exchange of territories between two countries of the former Yugoslavia... Looks like E.U accept the Serbian authority over Kosovo, cooperates with Serbia to create 100 percent Serb settlement over the Kosovo and in long run to reverse Kosovo back to Vojvodina STAUS, which is similar with Preshevo valley STATUS. There are a lot of evidences, how Serbia is IRRADICATING Hungarians of Vojvodina, but E.U is keeping both eyes and ears closed tight. |
