Spahiu: Both Pristina and Belgrade will be pressured by the new US administration

Political analyst Nexhmedin Spahiu has assessed that, following the inauguration of newly elected US President Donald Trump, both sides in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue will be pressured to reach an agreement.

"I think pressure will be placed on both sides, although Pristina has already made a written commitment that, if Belgrade fulfills its part, Pristina will fulfill its own," Spahiu stated for Kosovo Online.

When asked if the new US administration would insist on the establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities, Spahiu said this could be expected since the Community is part of the agreement.

"The Community of Serb-majority Municipalities is part of the agreement. The Brussels Agreement, based on the Franco-German plan, envisions greater autonomy for Serbs through the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities in exchange for implicit recognition through the establishment of permanent diplomatic missions in Pristina and Belgrade," Spahiu explained.
