Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, revealed through a statement to the media what happened at the Thursday meeting in Brussels, held in the context of the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia.<\/p>\n
Kurti claimed that it was the Serbian side that rejected the self-management offered by the European Union.<\/p>\n
Returning to the situation in the North, Kurti recalled that the boycott of the Serbian List to sit in the parliament of Kosovo, first harms the Serbian community there, and then the state of Kosovo.<\/p>\n
“Signature would mean acceptance and therefore implementation, but acceptance means signature and only signature means acceptance and guarantee of implementation. We told this to them very clearly yesterday, emphasizing that the European Council Summit in Brussels is the event and the place where this should happen.<\/p>\n
Serbia again refused to sign, thereby rejecting the self-management draft or the implementation of Article 7 of the agreement in conjunction with Article 10 of the basic agreement.<\/p>\n
Citizens of Kosovo from the Serbian community have rights guaranteed and extended by the Constitution of our Republic. The Serbian language is the official language throughout Kosovo, at all levels of administration. 17% of the local representatives in the municipal assemblies are Serbs, while 10 seats are seats reserved for the Serbian community in the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo, which are being boycotted and are not being used. We know that MPs use their free will and sometimes boycott temporarily for some issue, but if you boycott all the time, from the position of the reserved seat, is a harm done to the Serbian community first and then it increases the effort to harm the state of Kosovo,” Kurti said.<\/p>\n
Kosovo President added that instead of Serbia extraditing Milan Radoi\u010di\u0107’s terrorist group, the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107, is “threatening” Kosovo with the statements issued in Brussels.<\/p>\n
“Last night we found out that the president of Serbia threatens and fulfills those threats with these letters that say three things. Serbia does not recognize Kosovo, is against Kosovo’s membership in the United Nations and does not accept Kosovo’s territorial integrity, this third is an addition to the first two we heard earlier.<\/p>\n
Such an irresponsible statement, that the territorial integrity of Kosovo is unacceptable to us, is clearly a tendency to attack Kosovo. On September 24, Kosovo experienced a violation of territorial integrity, state sovereignty and national security.<\/p>\n
Instead of extradition of Radoicic’s group, we have such threats from Brussels of the president of Serbia for the territorial integrity of Kosovo. With those statements, the basic agreement and the Ohrid agreement have been violated, where it is stated in the third pin about territorial integrity, quoting “aware of the inviolability of borders and respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty and the recognition of national minorities as a basic condition for peace. Yesterday’s statement is a violation of the third point”, said Prime Minister Kurti.<\/p>\n
