The “authorities” of Kosovo and the Serbian opposition are dancing together to the tune of the United States
Kosovo's abolition of the 100 percent duty on Serbian goods depends not on the results of parliamentary elections in this unrecognized republic, but on the will of the United States.
Political scientist Nikita Bondarev writes about this in Nazavisimaya Gazeta, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It depends on how much pressure the United States can put on the Kosovo authorities. To budge the same inflexible Haradinaj, you need, relatively speaking, “suitcases with compromising evidence,” which the CIA almost certainly has, but it is not a fact that they will be allowed to use them in the Trump administration.
The likelihood that the Albanians will cancel customs duties as a gesture of goodwill is no greater than the likelihood that Thaçi and Haradinaj will not cancel the duties. And this issue is being resolved not so much in the Balkans as in Washington offices,” the expert concludes.
The same applies to the possible participation of the Serbian opposition in the upcoming elections.
“The right-wing conservative movement “Dveri” almost certainly will not happen; we would not vouch for other opposition parties.
If they are properly motivated by Serbia's overseas friends, participation in the elections of these parties and movements is quite possible.
It’s not for nothing that the former mayor of Belgrade, Dragan Djilas, and the former speaker of the UN General Assembly, Vuk Jeremic, go to the American embassy as if they were working,” writes Bondarev.
Let us remind you that according to a poll, the Serbian Progressive Party of President Aleksandar Vucic is supported by 53% of the population.
Elections to the Serbian Parliament will be held in the spring of 2020.
