Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
I want to delve a bit into the so-called normalization issue. I guess I'm a little less pessimistic about it than maybe our witnesses are.
I want to talk about two areas. One is the Belgrade-Priština dialogue, what has stalled it and what could incentivize it to continue. Some think that EU membership for either Serbia or Kosovo could lead to that. I understand that it may not, but I want to push a bit harder on that dialogue and what we could do as Canadians to foster it.
Not related to that but not dissimilar is the issue of the Peace Implementation Council, or PIC, and its steering board, which Canada is a member of, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the influences that have led to the high representative stepping down. We have foreign influence this is not just Russian and Chinese but also American. We have foreign influence from Serbia manifesting in minority populations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Kosovo.
I just want to get a bit of thought on what could incentivize the dialogue to be bumped up, and what role Canada could play in the north in Bosnia and Herzegovina with respect to the Peace Implementation Council. I know we have a bit more Kosovar experience here, but maybe some Kosovar and some Bosnian and Herzegovinian...and also witnesses online.
