“The investments made over the past ten years – which we can scrutinize – are a result of the Brussels Agreement. But much more important, and harmful, is that Kosovo is farther from Serbia, while Serbia is equally far from joining the EU than it was prior to signing the agreement,” Milivojevic explained.
