Abstract

In this article, we will analyze the Kosovo–Serbia dialogue process mediated by the European Union, as well as the problems that have arisen in decision-making in relation to the state of Kosovo. Eurocracy in the European Union is more concerned with technical rather than political issues, creating difficulties in the dialogue process and integration of states. The problems in EU functioning are also reflected in the negotiation process, because EU member states contribute to preserving the interests of their own states rather than those of the EU as a whole, except for economic and trade benefits. The EU foreign policy is below the level of the foreign policies of its member states. This is specifically reflected in the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, with great decision-making differences among EU member states, and also the non-recognition of the state of Kosovo from five EU countries (Spain, Romania, Cyprus, Slovakia, and Greece). Decision-making involved in EU foreign policy is studied through an analysis of the foreign policy system. All these foreign policy activities are presented to us through the incoming requests and outgoing decision-making of the system, because they are linked to the constituent aspects of the EU political system itself.
