EU on the signing in Washington: Ask Vucic and Hoti if they know what they signed
The question of whether the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo knew what they were signing in Washington, where they undertook to open embassies in Jerusalem, should be raised with them, the European Union was not informed about that, the Spokesman of the European Commission, Peter Stano stated.
„You asked if they knew what they were signing. I think that’s a very good question for them,“ he said while replying to a question from a journalist in Brussels.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic signed a document in Washington last week pledging that Serbia would allocate its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
At the same time, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Avdullah Hoti, signed a similar document, in which he undertook the obligation for Kosovo to open its embassy in Israel in Jerusalem when diplomatic relations between Kosovo and Israel are established.
Stano added that the EU had information on the economic aspects of the US meeting between Serbia and Kosovo, but that the Union did not know about this part, which refers to the recognition of Israel and the allocation of embassies.
He reminded that the EU is neutral on the issue of Jerusalem, that it advocates agreement between the two states, Israel and Palestine, which can coexist peacefully, and for Jerusalem as the capital of both states.
No EU member has its own embassy in Jerusalem.
