If Kosovo moves ahead with succession, one candidate in Serbia says no war, but an end to diplomacy toward the West. Will Serbia really pull out of EU fast track just to throw a fit over the Albanian in Kosovo?
Serb presidential hopeful says no war over Kosovo
Serbia's main ultranationalist presidential challenger said the country will not
go to war over Kosovo but must impose a trade embargo and scale back diplomatic
ties with its Western backers if the province secedes All major parties in Serbia, and the main candidates for president, oppose
independence for Kosovo. Analysts say Nikolic is softening his rhetoric to win
over more moderate voters Nikolic said Serbia should expel ambassadors from those countries that choose to
recognise Kosovo, which will likely include the United States and the major EU
member states -- a move analysts say will halt Belgrade's EU accession bid New EU president Slovenia said on Tuesday it backed signing a Stabilisation and
Association Agreement (SAA) with Serbia, the first step on the road to full EU
membership, possibly at the end of this month -- in what the West hopes will be
a boost to Tadic's chances in the second round. |
