Clinton and Kosovo

Kosovo honours a hero. To the hero the spoils? Brushing a lock of hair from her face and gazing into her eyes, the former president asks the comeliest government official to hand, “So what did you think of my speech?” No Monica she, her answer stays on the vertical and is rather better sculpted than the two and half-metre effigy just unveiled downtown: “Mr President, we all have our stories to tell.” Taking her hands in his, he says: “So tell me your story.”

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said Serbia was now fully cooperation with the Hague Tribunal even though two indictees remain on the run.

 

“I’m among those who think that Serbia is fully cooperating with the Hague Tribunal, but the cooperation has yet to bring ultimate success,“ the Swedish politician told a press conference in Stockholm.


Sweden assumed presidency of the EU today from the outgoing Czech Republic and will now lead the EU's work for six months.


Presenting the Swedish presidency’s priorities in Brussels last week, Bildt stressed the importance of moving relations with the Western Balkans forward. 


He added that Sweden would take a pragmatic stand on the Kosovo issue, taking into account the fact that several EU member-states had not recognized the independence of Kosovo.


According to Swedish Migration and Asylum Minister Tobias Billstrom, the biggest, and perhaps only, problem concerning visa liberalization with Serbia is Kosovo.


“We want to liberalize the visa regime with Serbia, but not Kosovo, as a dialogue on visa liberalization is being conducted with Serbia, not Kosovo,” Billstrom said. 


“The EU cannot afford to negotiate with one state, and for that then to apply to another state that hasn’t taken part in that process,” he added.
