European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s statement that the agreement on missing persons demonstrates a positive shift in Pristina’s approach toward the Serbian community is an attempt by Brussels to present the reality in a more favorable light and preserve the appearance that the dialogue is producing results, Kosovo Online’s interlocutors believe. They stress that the issue of missing persons is often used as a diplomatic “wild card” to divert attention from the fact that the rights of Serbs in Kosovo are increasingly under threat and that interethnic trust has been deeply undermined.
