Agree on Kosovo or EU door will close, envoy warns

The European Union’s envoy to the Kosovo talks threatened to withdraw the possibility of bloc membership from Serbia and Kosovo if they failed to reach a compromise solution on the province’s future.

Wolfgang Ischinger, who is working with diplomats from the US and Russia to restart talks between the two sides, also said that dividing Serbia’s southern province along ethnic lines – between its majority ethnic Albanians and minority Serbs – was an option if the parties agreed.
