INTERVIEW
H.E. JEAN-LOUIS FALCONI, AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO SERBIA
There Are No Quick Fixes, DIALOGUE IS NECESSARY The EU is not in a position to demand that Serbia recognises Kosovo, since several Member States have not recognised the independence of Kosovo. I would therefore say that, in order to enter the EU, Belgrade and Pristina should fully normalise their relations. The recognition of Kosovo is but one option to reach this goal. When it comes to France, any comprehensive, mutually acceptable option that leads to regional stability is acceptable – Jean-Louis Falconi
W
ith the first anniversary of his term in Serbia approaching, the French ambassador says that his goal is to bring Serbia closer to France by opening a new phase in bilateral cooperation, based on the historical friendship that developed during World War I. According to Ambassador Jean-Louis Falconi, speaking in this interview for CorD Magazine, Paris is ready to provide support in all areas – from the dialogue with Pristina and the European integration process, to the development of projects for the long-awaited Belgrade metro.
