  Stuck in Neutral: Why the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Has Stalled Three Years After Ohrid

  Jun 30, 202624 min

  In this episode of European Talks, host Milo Pavković (CEP Belgrade) spoke with Dimitar Bechev, Senior Fellow at Carnegie Europe and Director of the Dahrendorf Programme at Oxford's European Studies Centre, about the stalled Belgrade-Pristina normalisation process. Drawing on CEP's Shadow Report on the Ohrid Agreement, the conversation examined why implementation has lagged so far behind political rhetoric, the role of the Association of Serb-Majority Municipalities as both obligation and obstacle, and whether the EU has the credibility and tools to break the current deadlock. Bechev offered a sober assessment of the path ahead, concluding that "managing the status quo" is more realistic than a legally binding agreement in the near term.
