“Haradinaj and Commission are playing with Kosovo citizen”

Former Minister of Internal Affairs Skender Hyseni has said he believes the agreement reached with Montenegro for border demarcation should be ratified in the Kosovo Assembly, underlining that the new commission's ideas and bases on the issue are dangerous.

In Zone B in Klan Kosova, he has declared that this commission and Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj himself are playing with Kosovo's citizen, leaving him isolated, due to a haven of peace, whose pursuit can open the Pandora Box.

There are many active people in Kosovo's policy who have signed the Kosovo Declaration of Independence, but apparently have forgotten what they signed. At the time of the negotiations, there were different options for which date should be taken as the basis for establishing our border. And with our insistence, Martti Ahtisaari was persuaded to take over territory as on December 31, 1988, 1185x1>.

I'm hearing people dreaming of the day, talking about taking over 1945 for demarcation of the border with Montenegro. But at that time we were under violent administration, under a special decree by Josip Broz Tito. If we decide to get to the base of any date before 1974, then we'll open Pandora's Box. The game the commission has made and what Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has done is ultimately game with Kosovo's citizen, who remains isolated, without the world's right to circulation, as a free citizen”, Hyseni has said.

Hyseni, to illustrate the good reports Kosovo has with Montenegro, has mentioned a meeting with his counterpart, as it was the minister of foreign affairs, while stressing that Kosovo is wrong if it harms those reports, but even more if it tries to avoid the criteria with which it has demarked the borders among them all of Yugoslavia's former federal assets.

I've had a meeting, secret, because that's how it needs Montenegro, with that world Minister Milan Rocen, who told me then that they will recognise Kosovo's independence, when we need it most. And that happened. Montenegro has recognised Kosovo independently on the day when the General Assembly of the General Council decided to address the International Court of Justice the question initiated by Serbia, if Kosovo's independence was legally”.

Any deviation from the criteria set by the Badinter Commission, Kosovo would introduce it into an endless cycle of negotiations and uncertainty. We have set the border with Macedonia and with Montenegro, which I hope will be ratified in the Kosovo Assembly”, Hyseni has declared.
