“When we talk about a compromise, the compromise can be: 'Will Serbia recognize Kosovo and then Kosovo can recognize Serbia'? We do not need that, we are a recognized state. From everyone. What we need is a compromise solution, for Belgrade’s position to be understood, for Serbia’s position to be understood, to understand that we must take care of the Serbs in Kosovo. It has been seven and a half years since the signing of the Brussels Agreement, and only one obligation has to be fulfilled by the Albanian side, that of the establishment of the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities. And what was their answer today? ‘We do not care about this, not until Serbia recognizes Kosovo’. It was not signed in Brussels that Serbia would recognize Kosovo, but with the EU as a guarantor, it was agreed that Kosovo would fulfill its obligations under the agreement. Now they are saying: 'we do not care, we will never do it, it is part of the regional agenda'. But we need to know, first of all, whether you will fulfill it or not. Second of all, are we talking about a compromise solution or an increase in pressure on Serbia? And do you really want to build normal relations or do you actually want to beat the Serbs? I think we need to find a solution which leaves both sides equally dissatisfied or a little bit satisfied.”
