Former Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti endorsed Kosovo’s move in enforcing the principle of reciprocity on license plates.
“Kosovo has adhered to this agreement and took actions in its accordance”, said the former prime minister on Balkan Talks.
According to Hoti, Kosovo was right to apply the measure, but he was more critical on the way the Kurti government handled it.
“The action wasn’t coordinated with international partners, to make them aware that Kosovo is respecting the agreement, and that we are at the end of the agreement and Kosovo is obliged to act in conformity to the law and the agreement. A situation arose, and it seemed as if our partners were surprised, something that shouldn’t have happened because every step was completely coordinated with international partners”, he explained.
During the interview with Franko Egro, Hoti maintained that PM Kurti did not have a clear plan.
According to Kosovo’s former premier, ally countries aligned with Kosovo on the reciprocity move, but they were critical of the actions of the Kurti government.
He warned that the reciprocity row might impact the dialogue process in Brussels, by dodging discussions on a final agreement.
“I am afraid that they will not discuss a final agreement, but technical, partial ones, for the problem that arose in northern Kosovo, and I reiterate that Kosovo is in its full right. It is Serbia that didn’t’ respect the agreement”, concluded Hoti.
