Haradinaj visits Montenegro to clarify demarcation issue

Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj's first visit abroad will be made to Tirana and is then expected to visit Podgorica, where state authorities there will discuss the issue of demarcation of the border between the two countries. The Kosovo side hopes this agreement can be renegotiated, while the Montenegrin side sees it as closed chapter, the newspaper “Zer” writes today.

Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj is expected to visit Montenegro soon, where with state officials in Podgorica he will try to set aside “to clarify” the issue of demarcation between the two countries.

This will be among the first visits by the head of the Kosovo government abroad, as it was the one who has opposed the Kosovo Demarketing Agreement with Montenegro, signed two years ago in Vienna.

Haradinaj, while in opposition, claimed that with this Demarketing Agreement, Kosovo loses 8,200 hectares of land, while Kosovo's border, according to him, would have to be in Cakir.

After taking the Haradinaj Government's <x0mimion” fired the Commission for Demarketing at the helm of Murat Meha, and instead appointed the former LDK delegation, Speed Bulqi, who also opposed such a Border Mark Agreement with Montenegro.
