Kosovo and the Question of Serbia
Kosovo and the Question of Serbia

Summary/Abstract: Kosovo’s unresolved status is one of the major potential threats to that stability. A ‘successful’ outcome – one that leads to durable stabilisation of the region and promotes the acceleration of the whole region towards EU integration – presupposes the acceptance of the result of the process by all parties. However, this seems far away, given their diametrically opposed positions at present. The paper seeks to address the issue not primarily as one of the Kosovar Albanians’ ‘right to self-determination’, but as a challenge to Serbia to redefine its national identity and statehood in light of the impasse of its traditional national agenda, and the new opportunities that EU integration now offers.
