Representatives of the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo have said that they’re wary of the possibility that the Government of Kosovo might end up allowing the establishment of an association of Serb-majority communes, especially after the license plate agreement and the continuous requests made by the EU and Serbia for the implementation of the 2015 agreement.

The opposition party is also saying that the Kurti administration is taking steps backward, in terms of the dialogue and that this approach risks creating a Serbian entity with vested executive powers.

Meanwhile, the civil society is asking for a consensus from all of the political spectrum, in order to come to an agreed and clear position, in regards to the association.

Press agency, KosovaPress decided to ask the government of Kosovo as well as the EU in regards to this request as well as the agenda of the upcoming dialogue, but neither decided to get back to them with an official response.

LDK member, Muamet Hamiti has said that an association with vested executive powers should be unacceptable for Kosovo, but that according to him, the VV-led government risks allowing it.

After reaching an agreement on the license plate dispute, the EU made an official communication asking both countries for the implementation of the 2015 agreement, with a special focus on the association of Serb communes in Kosovo.

In addition, the Serbian side has been saying from the start, that the topic of associations should be the first to be discussed in the framework of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.

Several months ago, PM Kurti has proposed founding a National Council of Minorities, as an alternative to the association, but this has been refused by Serbia. Kurti has also repeated on numerous occasions in the past that he will never agree to the foundation of a uni-ethnic association in Kosovo.
