The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has reacted regarding the March 18 meeting that will be held in Ohrid.

While responding to the EU emissary, Miroslav Lajcak, who said that there is no agreement if the Association is not formed, Kurti emphasized that it is necessary to discuss the implementation plan of the agreement that was agreed in Brussels.

“We have agreed on the European proposal with Franco-German initiative and supported by the USA and Italy, there are 5 sentences in the preamble, there are 11 articles in total. Let’s discuss the implementation plan. I understand that Serbia pushed a lot on the issue of the Association, it is in Article 10, in fact when I looked recently together with the conclusions that were made in Brussels it turns out that from July 2, 2011 to August 25, 2015 there are 39 agreements in total and the Association constitutes the first 6 points of a 15-point agreement, which is the 16th out of 39”, said Kurti.

The latter stated, among other things, that they know Serbia’s position.

“We know Serbia’s position, but I must refer to what we have agreed. The implementation plan should be discussed in Ohrid and maybe not only in Ohrid. I am optimistic, but now whether it will succeed or not, you know it is not up to me. I offered to sign the European proposal, but the other side was not ready and rejected it”, said Kurti.
