Within our platform, the Western Balkans Policy Forum, we organised the conference “Dialogue with Serbia: Lessons from the Past for the Future of the Process.” The conference brought Baroness Catherine Ashton and Ambassador Philip Reeker, the facilitators of the Dialogue in the early years, who drew lessons from the past and provided insights and features for the ongoing and the future of the dialogue. Speakers highlighted the importance of perceiving the dialogue as an ongoing initiative owned exclusively by Kosovo and Serbia, emphasizing the need for genuine leadership, unwavering determination, and a willingness to compromise to achieve significant goals. They pointed to the European Union, with its 27 member states, as a model for embracing compromise to achieve the best outcomes. They also reiterated that the dialogue’s consistent objective is to prepare Serbia and Kosovo for European Union membership.
