Journalist Albana Xharra said in an interview for Euronews Albania that in the final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, the association will pass, but Kosovo must set clear conditions in its final negotiations.

According to Xharra, Serbia has not given any signal that it will recognize Kosovo’s independence, so Kosovo should never allow Serbia executive power within its territory.

“In these negotiations, something should be demanded in return, because this is what Serbia and the international powers do in relation to Kosovo. It is obvious that Serbia isn’t thinking of recognizing Kosovo any time soon. The association will definitely pass, but Serbia should not be allowed to have executive power because there is no signal that Serbia will recognize Kosovo’s independence any time soon. Kosovo should be able to understand to what extent they should oppose the US in order not to enter into a status quo, but also not to allow Serbia to have executive powers within its territory,” said Xharra.
