“This is a problem [citizens in the Western Balkans believing that they will never join the EU] because it removes the pressure on the elites to implement reforms. The results of recent elections in North Macedonia show to the elites in the region that, if one puts all eggs in one basket - the EU - one risks being punished by the voters. Without a political message and with the difficulty with the e-word (enlargement), the reports lose the power they once had. They have now become much more of a non-event. Which is a pity - they are in many ways better than five years ago.”

“The prospects of any success are very slim, considering the rulings of the ICTY that found war crimes but not genocide [in trials related to the Kosovo war]. It might be a way to use as part of the bargaining with Serbia, ie. using it to offer to drop the case in exchange for compromises but considering the limited odds of success that seems not that useful.”

“The idea of border changes is dangerous. It was already highly risky [to] discuss a mutually agreed border change between Kosovo and Serbia and [is] even more risky in Bosnia because it would involve not only a nonconsensual process [but] affect people against their will and throw overboard the approach of the international community [that has been in place] since 1991, namely that no border changes along ethnic lines are acceptable. This would have knock-on effects in Crimea and elsewhere and could trigger renewed conflict in Bosnia.”

“While it is uncertain that North Macedonia and Albania will progress this year, I would think the odds are good. After Bulgarian elections (scheduled for March) there will be a chance to find a face-saving way out for Bulgaria. However, if that opportunity is missed, the risk will be that the veto 'settles in' and becomes harder to challenge in the subsequent period.”

“It’s an outlier [Mostar municipality] from most of the other municipalities in Bosnia, but it does in a certain way reflect the situation at a higher level in the country.”

“The rule of law is essential, accession means enshrining, institutionalizing and bringing enduring changes to the societies.”

“There are some indications that Vucic is putting more space between himself and Russia. I would not think this to be a long-term move but more a tactical shift. [Vucic] needed it [distance himself from Russia] after the flawed elections and democratic backsliding. A more pro-Western 'look' helps him get support that can cover up these deficiencies.”

“The movement of embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would be going against the EU policy on this matter. This is particularly a problem for Serbia, which is already far from aligned with the EU foreign policy. There has been an EU-led dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo for ten years now, so it [the Agreement] really has no novelty value. The deal for the sake of a deal ends up being very slim. If Kosovo and Serbia cannot find a way to normalize their relations, Kosovo has to develop its own foreign policy not relying on the US as its only pillar, and visa liberalization would be really important for Kosovo.”
