Partition Kosovo: Eu-Mediated Talks and Kosovan Counterpart

partition kosovo: Vu i and his Kosovan counterpart, Hashim Tha i, are also set to resume EU-mediated talks in Brussels that are intended to bring a lasting settlement between Belgrade and Pristina, and open up EU membership for both in the longer term, according to The Guardian. But there are growing concerns over a pact to partition Kosovo. The Serbian president, Aleksandar Vu i is preparing to visit Kosovo next month, amid mounting evidence that Belgrade and Pristina are floating the idea of reaching a deal to divide the disputed territory and institute a land swap along ethnic lines. Critics say it would open a Pandora's box in the Balkans, with ethnically divided Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia potential flash points. Proposed deal Vu i will use his 9 September visit to Kosovo to lay out guidelines and directions of state policy towards Kosovo . Earlier this month, he said he favoured partitioning Kosovo along ethnic lines, which is expected to mean the Serb-dominated north being integrated into Serbia. Even in Albania, which borders Kosovo, a division is viewed by many with trepidation, and the prime minister, Edi Rama, has been accused of uncharacteristic silence. (news.financializer.com).
