Differences Between Coalition Partners Continue

The head of the Parliament has no reason not to put the agreement between Kosovo and Montenegro into order and to proceed further, though they have argued that the Commission for Foreign Affairs after his review had given no recommendation on whether to vote.

However, the failure to comply with the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro in Parliament is taking place because of the PDK's differences with AAKA. That's how you estimate, Artan Murati from the Kosovo Democratic Institute. He for Express has clarified how crucial the recommendation of this Commission for the agreement to be processed in Headship.

There probably no political consensus to proceed with demarcation at the session, because it cannot be taken as a reason for failing to process the proposal further on how to vote for a bill. Even within the Foreign Affairs Commission there has been no agreement on whether to recommend how to vote”, Murati has announced. As he put it, MPs have the right and complete freedom to vote for a bill according to their beliefs, despite the recommendation of the functional Commission, which in this case is KPJ”, he added.

The Foreign Affairs Commission has prosecuted the Kosovo Assembly bill on Ratification of the State Border Agreement days ago. But without any recommendation to be voted on. Although Commission members from the V V, AAK and Initiative insisted that this Bill go with recommendation, so that this agreement, which did not pass, is not voted on. Officials in the Assembly said there is no way to examine it by Headship, when there is no recommendation for it.

But, according to Murati even if there was a recommendation, the same is not mandatory for MPs, and that is why Kryssia has not yet prosecuted this bill at the hearing.

I consider that a political consensus has not yet been reached, especially between the ruling coalition partners, how to treat it and how to deal with demarcation. It is evident that international pressure on this issue is increasing, so MPs must quickly give an epilogue to this issue, which is continuing to suspend citizens for nearly three years”, the KDIU researcher suggested.

However, while in opposition, Ramush Haradinaj's party strongly rejected the current version of the agreement with Montenegro. The maps through which it was claimed to be confirmed where Kosovo's border with the Montenegrin state is, were even thrown on the face of former head of state commission Murat Meha, from the current head of government. Although it has been three years since the agreement was signed, the same cannot get epilogue.

Once divided on this subject, today's governing partners, The PDK is not expressing interest in having the demarcation with Montenegro issued for the vote. It sure as hell doesn't have the votes to make it. Therefore, this party, currently led by Kadri Veseli, has chosen not to score progress on the issue, as the AAK is aiming, for the existing agreement to be processed for the vote and there to fail.

MP The PDK, Zenun Pajaziti long ago, talking about the Demarket issue, said the agreement should not go to the Parliament if the votes it passes are not. The agreement to come to the Assembly to collapse, this will be our biggest stupidity, our Parliament and Policy Institutions”, the official had said The PDK is alluding to the AAK's goal that the deal be issued for vote and collapse.

Ramush Haradinaj, who proved that through the formation of a new commission for Demarketing, convinced lawmakers that Kosovo loses land did not result successfully. Annie why, the prime minister had said that in January 2018, the agreement will be voted in the Parliament. However, the same along with the Bullics Speed material had been processed to the Foreign Affairs Commission to be examined and then sent to the Headship of the Parliament to put it into agenda.

To address this situation is also talking about a consensus agreement, the responsibility which Chairman Fatmir Limaj has taken over. He has warned that a version will be released before the country's lawmakers, all applauding. But, Express had learned that the current agreement would be added to a joint commitment letter and that within a given period the two countries would open talks to correct the agreement where there are conflicts.

Whether Montenegro will comply with this proposal remains to be seen on 6 February, the day it will even visit Kosovo, the prime minister of this state, at Ramush Haradinaj's invitation. However, from political connoisseur nor the arrival of Dusko Markovic will solve the stalemate in which the country is located as the cause of the agreement.

Ahead of major topics such as Demarketing with Montenegro was one of the PDK's reasons, which, although in the coalition with Isa Mustaf's party, decided to back the motion initiated by the opposition that resulted in its fall and election entry.

At the time, this government faced one of the most serious scenarios. Anyway, The LDK, which was standing behind the deal, said that Kosovo does not lose a millimeter of land, is now struggling. PDK to move ahead with exactly the demarcation.

LDK leader has promised The PDK does the vote of his pro-demarketing party, if the same manages to make 61 deputies who would be in favour of the deal. However, the demarcation, as one of the last conditions for Kosovo, to remove the country from the visa regime and isolation, remains the constant call of friendly countries for this situation as soon as the solution is given. /
