« It costs will not praise the non-existent progress of Serbia »: What to expect from the visit of the President of the European Council? – Politics

Cost to Serbia comes within its first visit to the Western Balkans since President’s office European Council (ES), and will end by visiting Tirana, where the Summit of the European Political Community is held.

As announced it will meet with Prime Minister Đuro MacutomSerbian President Aleksandar Vučić, and MPs.

Since this visit comes five days after Vučić’s trip to Moscow, but also two days after Petition starts In the European Parliament (EP) that it costs to cancel the visit, the question arises as this visit will look like.

Critique messages at the Account of Vucić’s visits have certainly came by the EU official, but the Site of the Statement was not residents, and even greeted Vučić’s commitment to substantial reforms.

Researcher Center of Contemporary Policy and Portal Journalist EwbSofia Popović, for today, says that Vučić’s visit to Moscow will surely be the theme behind the closed door, but it is difficult to assess whether it will cost publicly sharper.

« Everything and to absent a public shrew in Moscow, it is not something that it will help the negotiations and the openings of Cluster 3, and after the visit, it will not happen until the end of the Polish EU presidency, » our interlocutor is not coming.

It reminds us of the costly statement after the Vučić meeting in Brussels and adds that it is not a politician who will praise the non-existent progress of Serbia.

« I expect that it will be repeated tomorrow that it takes progress in the field of corruption and election reform, as it has been a more likely because of the fact that it has not been implemented since the president of the reforms » in the next few weeks. « 

Speaking of the announced meeting of the basket with MPs, Popović points out that he will most likely meet with opposition representatives.

« Such an encounter is not planned in other states Western Balkans And it can be a clear in the message that the government is not the only player with which the EU wants to talk to. It also shows the visit of Marta Kos, which, except with the authorities, meets students, opposition and civil society, « explains the interviewee of Danas.

It also reminds the adopted resolution of the EP and claims that even the European People’s Party, whose membership is the Serbian Advanced Party, does not want to take it for regime in Serbia and repair evaluations with the EP, which was previously the case.

« It was not real that the president of the ES after that letter would fail the visit of Serbia, but also a recent resolution, the EP will influence the message that the tangible progress in the field of rule in order to move forward, » Popović concludes forward « , concludes Popović.

The director of the Institute for European Affairs, Naim Leo Besiri claims that it will most likely keep diplomatic tone and avoid open public criticism of Vučić.

« It is expected to put emphasis on a constructive dialogue and encouraging Serbia to harmonize with EU foreign policy, but in general frameworks, » says Bachiri.

Referring to Brussels sources, our interlocutor says that criticisms for Vucic’s closeness will probably be directly addressed, behind closed doors, while public statements will remain measured.

« This means that it will probably repeat the conditions for the EU, such as alignment with the sanctions and reforms of the rule before the media, while maintaining a protocolty decency and partnership, which is an approach to the EU so far » explains the Beshira.

Commenting a petition for cancellation of the visit, our interlocutor says that she advocates a sharper approach and reminds that in that Petition, Vučić’s departure to Moscow is characterized as « approving war crimes » as « very problematic ».

« We have seen a similar situation earlier: despite the letter of 32 MPs, Brussels’ s visitation, will be realized to remain the usual diplomatic agenda, as a dialogue, while the sharp tone of the petition will remain aside, » says the interlocutor of Danas.

He adds that he will remain « bitter taste of shower visits » if it does not support clear students and their protests as Marta Kos.

« Still, given that the students presented the authorities to be able to absent, but do not be faulted, and not the absence of the FON Der Lajin » Dear Alexander « can be a strong diplomatic message, » Beleshius concludes.
