Mitić kaže da se razgovori održavaju u krajnje nepovoljnom kontekstu, pod pokroviteljstvom EU -- za koju on smatra da je "apsolutno na strani Albanaca i nezavisnosti Kosova" -- te pod vremenskim pritiskom, gdje Brisel Beogradu postavlja uslove za davanje kandidatskog statusa u decembru.
Mitic says that the talks have been held in an extremely unfavourable context, under the auspices of the EU -- which he sees as "absolutely in favour of the Albanians and Kosovo's independence" -- and under time pressure whereby Brussels places conditions on Belgrade to grant it candidacy status in December.
