Neki politički analitičari kaže da je parafiranje ovog sporazuma -- koje je prvobitno trebalo biti u oktobru, ali je odloženo zbog nedostatne saradnje s tribunalom -- trebalo imati za cilj da podstakne demokratski blok u Srbiji u suočavanju s teškim pitanjem statusa Kosova.
Some political analysts have said that the initialing of the agreement -- originally due in October, but postponed because of insufficient co-operation with the tribunal -- was meant to encourage the democratic bloc in Serbia as it grapples with the difficult issue of Kosovo's status.
