The Minister of Defense of Kosovo, Ejup Macedonci, when asked in an exclusive interview for A2CNN why Kosovo did not get the internationals to punish Serbia for the terrorist attack in Banjska, stated that we are dealing with a political calculation of the partners.
According to Macedonia, the lack of harsh punishment for Serbia by the EU and the US was a tactical move to enable the dialogue to continue.
" I think that all international partners are convinced that in addition to the fact that this terrorist group had the goal of dividing and annexing a part of the territory of our country, it also had connections with state structures. This has actually been said by those who have stated in more detail about the Banjska case. I believe that a political calculation was made by the international community in this case. Some of our partners have considered developing a softer policy in relation to Serbia in this situation, perhaps from their point of view to enable the dialogue to continue. "
But the historical course of events in the Balkans, according to the Kosovar Minister of Defense, has always shown that Serbia sits at the table and softens only when "force" is used.
" However, we have always had such situations in this region where, for Serbia, the only means to force it to sit down and make a political solution has been force. I think that a stronger reaction was needed, sanctions should have been imposed and Serbia should have been informed that this hegemonic and aggressive approach towards its neighbors cannot produce any other result than the one in Banjska.
