@RihoTerras @AgronBajrami @kosovo @EPPGroup @Europarl_EN @eu_enlargement_ Sir please use the correct form of Prishtina

Ambassador @AgronBajrami is an excellent choice to serve as @kosovo's Chief Negotiator in the Priština–Belgrade Dialogue.
Hopefully, this brings long-awaited progress in talks between the two countries.

European Council meeting. For the first time in years there are no Russians in the room. Huge relief.

@Andric1961 It’s one thing to criticize her, but it is absolutely abhorrent to call a woman politician a “prostitute”. You have done an amazing job covering the Balkans, but this ‘Informer’ language does not suit you

Kosovo I: Has anyone ever pointed out to Kosovo’s outgoing president that there is a line between representing one’s country’s legitimate interests and self-degrading intellectual prostitution? Mrs. Osmani does not seem to be aware of this line.

“MELANIA” premiered in Kosovo with resounding success, bringing together artists, stars and friends of Kosovo and the U.S. to experience a bold portrayal of the American presidential family and the extraordinary, impactful leadership of @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP. Hosted by @Presidenca_RKS, the premiere was also a celebration of the Kosovo–U.S. alliance: strong, enduring, and forward-looking. 🇽🇰🇺🇸

“El margen de la victoria de Albin Kurti fue sorprendente para casi todo el mundo”, reconoce @BesarGergi. “Contó con la mayor bendición que un político puede desear: oponentes débiles”. elespanol.com/mundo/europa/2…

After nearly a year of political paralysis, Kosovo returns to the polls on Sunday in a vote that could determine if the country makes progress on its stalled path toward the European Union.

Listen carefully to George Yeo, former foreign minister of Singapore.
He displays a far deeper understanding of European history and its conflicts than most Western politicians ever have.
It’s rare to see a high-ranking official speak with this level of depth, clarity, and insight in an interview.
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand
This is a must-read interview of George Yeo, one of the wisest statesmen in Asia (he was cabinet minister in Singapore during 21 years, including Minister for Foreign Affairs during 7 years). His take on the US's change of strategy: "[Trump] recognises that the US cannot dominate the world the way it used to in the past. The US hasn’t got the financial power or the manufacturing capability. So it has to retreat some and consolidate around its own core and concentrate on healing itself. [...] Trump recognises the reality of a multipolar world. The US is primus inter pares in such a world. By moving closer to all other poles, as Kissinger recommended, it will remain influential for a long time." He also says that "sooner or later, the number of US military bases around the world will be reduced." And "as Pax Americana recedes, regional equilibriums will be affected." All in all he says "the US is in decline now" which "is something to worry about" and "no one knows" if it can recover. On Taiwan he says "I don’t see Taiwanese dying for an independent Taiwan" and that "there is growing realisation [in Taiwan] that the road to independence is a dead end." He thinks that "Taiwan is separate only because the US is there" and that "whether or not there is trouble over Taiwan depends on the US" because "China’s overwhelming preference is peaceful reunification." He urges the Taiwanese to negotiate reunification sooner rather than later: "negotiating earlier with Beijing is better than negotiating later, which was [Singapore’s first prime minister] Lee Kuan Yew’s point many years ago. Taiwan can enjoy more autonomy by negotiating now rather than waiting another 10 years." On the current Japan-China row he said this might be due either "to Sanae Takaichi’s newness to her position as prime minister... she might not have realised the gravity of her remarks" or she did it deliberately "in order to provoke a strong reaction from China and use that to win popularity and justify higher defence spending." In either case, he thinks it was "not wise for Takaichi" to do so because "the Chinese will now reopen the Ryukyu issue – not officially, but through social media and other unofficial channels. Ryukyu as part of Japan was never part of the deal among the victorious powers at the end of the second world war. There was only agreement for Japan to retain the four main islands." He believes that "raising Ryukyu as an issue will deter Japanese politicians from being adventurous on Taiwan." There you go. His discourse definitely departs from the typical orthodoxies you hear around these questions. But when you're a small state that has survived and thrived for 60 years by reading power dynamics correctly, you tend to develop a clear-eyed view of how the world actually works.

According to a @institutiGAP analysis, the EU measures have cost #Kosovo around €614 million. "There is a risk of losing even more, as some agreements are set to expire," Rrona Zhuri told The New Union Post

@MFASerbia What was Vucic trying to insinuate when he said that 1244 does not apply to Serbia? predsednik.rs/en/press-cente…
English
На данашњи дан 1999. године, Савет безбедности Уједињених нација усвојио је Резолуцију 1244, којом се потврђује суверенитет и територијални интегритет Савезне Републике Југославије, а тиме и Републике Србије као њене правне наследнице. Резолуција 1244 је усвојена у контексту окончања сукоба на Косову и Метохији, са мандатом да обезбеди присуство Уједињених нација, повратак избеглих и расељених лица и пуно поштовање суверенитета и територијалног интегритета Републике Србије.
Република Србија доследно поштује међународно право, принципе Повеље УН и темеље међународног поретка.
Поносни смо што припадамо државама које су посвећене поштовању ових начела, укључујући неопходност уважавања територијалног интегритета и суверенитета, како сопственог, тако и свих других држава чланица.
У борби за очување свог суверенитета и територијалног интегритета, Србија се ослања на Резолуцију 1244, бранећи тиме универзална правила која морају једнако важити за све.

On this day in 1999, the @UN Security Council adopted #Resolution1244, reaffirming the #sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and thereby the Republic of #Serbia as its legal successor. Resolution 1244 was adopted in the context of ending the conflict in Kosovo and Metohija, with a mandate to ensure the presence of the United Nations, the return of displaced persons and refugees, and the full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia.
The Republic of Serbia remains firmly committed to international law, the principles of the #UNCharter, and the foundations of the international legal order.
We are proud to belong to the group of states dedicated to upholding these principles, including the imperative of respecting territorial integrity and sovereignty, both our own and that of all other #UN member states.
In defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Serbia relies on Resolution 1244, thereby upholding the universal norms that must apply equally to all.
