The global eradication of the coronavirus is currently not a reasonable goal, the World Health Organization (WHO) special envoy for COVID-19 said.

David Nabaro told Sky News that the virus will not disappear soon, but variants will appear.

“Humanity will have to learn to coexist with this virus, preventing it from breaking out suddenly and causing outbreaks of disease,” he said.

He added that reports on the Nepalese variant of the coronavirus are being studied.

“Every time it explodes suddenly, it stimulates in someone’s mind the thought that a new variant may appear. “That would not be surprising.”

Many observers warn of unequal access to vaccines in rich and poor countries, exacerbating and prolonging the coronavirus pandemic that has so far caused the deaths of more than 3.5 million people worldwide.

Leaders of the WHO, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank recently called on world leaders to make a “new commitment” and advocate for a fairer distribution of antiCOVID-19 vaccines in plans for fight the pandemic.

PRISTINA, Kosovo – Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, has informed Kosovo that normalizing talks with Serbia is essential on its way to the European Union.

The Kosovar Prime Minister Albin Kurti published a letter of congratulations on Thursday that he had received from Blinken the day before. Blinken called on Kosovo “to participate productively and immediately in the US-backed, EU-backed dialogue with Serbia”.

“Securing a comprehensive normalization agreement with Serbia that focuses on mutual recognition is critical to Kosovo’s ability to reach its full potential and advance its EU accession path,” wrote Blinken.

Brussels has also stressed that normalization talks between Kosovo and Serbia are fundamental to the goal of one day becoming bloc members.

Kurti, who on March 22nd after his left self-determination movement or Vetevendosje! Taking office, won the most votes in Kosovo’s parliamentary elections on February 14. The talks with Serbia are not one of the immediate objectives.

Negotiations to normalize relations between Kosovo and neighboring Serbia, which began a decade ago, stalled last year.

Kurti and the new President Vjosa Osmani mentioned the problem of around 1,640 people missing in the 1998-1999 war as a priority in these talks.

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, a decade after a brutal 1998-1999 war between separatist ethnic Albanian rebels and Serbian forces that ended after a 78-day NATO air campaign that evicted Serb forces and drafted peacekeeping forces.

Most Western nations have recognized Kosovo’s sovereignty, but Serbia and its allies Russia and China have not. Tensions over Kosovo remain a source of volatility in the Balkans.

PRISTINA, Kosovo – The European Union’s Special Representative on Tuesday called on Kosovo and Serbia to resume talks on normalizing their relations.

Miroslav Lajcak is on a three-day visit to Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, before heading to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

The bloc and the United States “await the continuation of the dialogue process” which “deals with issues that are important to every citizen of Kosovo and, of course, are inevitable for Kosovo’s European path”.

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, a decade after a brutal war between separatist ethnic Albanian rebels and Serbian armed forces between 1998 and 1999. Most western nations have recognized Kosovo’s independence, but Serbia and its allies Russia and China have not.

After a summit in the White House and talks in Brussels in September, the dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo stalled.

Lajcak had a “constructive meeting” on Monday with Albin Kurti, who is expected to become the new Prime Minister of Kosovo after his self-determination party won the February 14 parliamentary elections.

The dialogue could be completed in months if Pristina and Belgrade were ready, Lajcak said at a press conference following a meeting with incumbent President Vjosa Osmani.

“We definitely don’t need another 10 years, not even five years, not even three years if there is commitment, when the parties are ready,” he said.

For Osmani, the ultimate goal of the dialogue would be for both Kosovo and Serbia to become members of the EU.
