Speaking for the March 6 edition of the Nova daily, Freedom and Justice Party president Dragan Djilas said that the EU would never have presented Serbia with such unfavorable terms for normalizing relations with Kosovo had the current regime not essentially halted Serbia’s euro-integrations.

According to the opposition party leader, the EU’s proposal for Kosovo offers Serbia “virtually nothing good, aside from the conclusion that the Community of Serb Municipalities must be formed.” Everything else in the plan, Djilas stated, “is more or less bad” for Serbia.

Dismissing such a disadvantageous agreement, however, would be even worse for the country, Djilas said, since the proposal has already been accepted by the Serbian authorities and such rejection “would have catastrophic repercussions.”

In his opinion, Serbia’s current internal circumstances warrant immediate snap elections both for Belgrade’s local government and the state parliament.
