EU Delegation denies Serbian tabloid’s claims about non-paper, Vucic agrees

Srpski Telegraf daily said that the non-paper proposing solutions for Kosovo was written by European External Action Service Managing Director for Europe and Central Asia Angelina Eichhorst. The alleged non-paper proposed a separate district in the north of Kosovo covering the majority Serb municipalities and special status for the Serbian Orthodox Church.

The EU Delegation press release said it rejects the claims by Srpski Telegraf. “EEAS Managing Director Angelina Eichhorst nor anyone from any EU institution has anything to do with that document, they did not draft it nor did they support it. Any information to the contrary is incorrect. The alleged non-paper does not reflect the views of the EU and the EU strongly distances itself from it and has nothing to do with it,” the press release said.

President Aleksandar Vucic echoed the EU Delegation’s statement, saying that he is convinced the Eichhorst did not author the non-paper. “It does not seem like her, I think she is not the author. I am convinced that she did not do it,” he told reporters.
