The Bosnian political scientist, Jasmin Mujanovic, says that the former Slovenian president, Borut Pahor, is the most likely candidate to replace Miroslav Lajcak, in the position of the European Union's special envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. According to him, Pahor would be preferred by both sides and based on his experience would contribute to the dialogue process.
In an interview for KosovaPress, he criticizes the current mediator, Miroslav Lajcak, for not doing a good job in dialogue and for being biased. The Bosnian analyst emphasizes that the current dialogue has stalled due to the fault of Serbia, which does not implement the agreements reached. However, he adds that even the European Union has no leverage to move the process forward.
He points out that the fundamental problem in the dialogue is that Serbia is not ready to accept the sovereignty of Kosovo.
Speaking about the lack of implementation of the Brussels Basic Agreement and the Ohrid annex, Mujanovic says that it is currently going in the wrong direction.
As for Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe, the Bosnian analyst says that it is a real possibility, which would help Kosovo's international consolidation.
During this week, Mujanovic stayed in Kosovo, where he was also received in a meeting by Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
