Former Croatian President Stipe Mesić said that when it comes to Kosovo, the problem is above all in Serbia.
Mesic and North Macedonian President Stevo Pendarovski attended the session at the Macedonian Energy Forum held in the capital, Skopje.
In his speech before the committee, Mesić stated that the world had changed a lot after World War II and turned into a multilateral place where there was no hegemony, and pointed out that small countries should cooperate with each other and tend to cooperate with them. “Big Players” together.
Mesić emphasized that the Balkan countries had common interests and that the independence of these countries should be understood and accepted after the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, and continued his words as follows:
“Some still don’t understand it. When it comes to Kosovo, the problem is first and foremost in Serbia. It would be very difficult if you had a policy of retrospective rear-view mirrors. And we are in a situation where a lot of history falls per square meter. Only Looking back prevents us, so this policy towards Kosovo is a completely lost policy. If anyone thinks that Kosovo can come back with war, that person is missing. Anyone who thinks that Kosovo can come back militarily and finds himself in politics is a lost person. It cannot Be, there is no such possibility.”
North Macedonian President Pendarovski also stated that energy issues have always been a challenge, but have intensified with the Ukraine war.
Pendarovski stressed the need for closer cooperation between the countries of the region, saying: “In the face of any obstacle, problem or difficulty in the world, the countries of the Western Balkans must become members of broader organizations, especially the European Union. Because they cannot solve such problems independently, with their internal resources. alone.” He said.
Speaking about his country’s European integration process, Pendarovski added that before the Ukrainian war, the European Union had lost interest in the integration of the countries of the Western Balkans, and that now support for EU membership in the region, especially in North Macedonia, is declining.
