Kosovo president, Hashim Thaci, answered statements of Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic who asks compromise with Kosovo, excluding mutual recognition, Gazeta Express reports.

Kosovo president said Wednesday that he considers Vucic’s statements as provocations, adding that the two countries will sit at the negotiation table as equal. “Messages from Belgrade that we have to compromise without recognition of Republic of Kosovo are provocations. Independence of Kosovo IS a compromise. Dialogue only possible on a principle: two countries recognizing each other as equal neighbors, moving towards Euro-Atlantic family,” Thaci wrote in Twitter.

Serbian president Vucic during a visit to Greece gave an interview with the Athens-based Kathimerini saying that Belgrade is ready to negotiate on finding a compromise solution, but as he said, without recognizing Kosovo. /GazetaExpress/
