Trouble in Presevo: Cooper's secret letter warned sedition, s quite denies Chairman Arifi

Arifi, however, hopes everything will be fine.

And as far as tomorrow's day is concerned, I hope and believe that everything will go okay and there won't be any such attempt by anyone to run the election process tomorrow because it just creates instability and doesn't create something that's wise. I'm calmer in this direction. I believe and I hope there is no such incident. I rule out nothing, negative phenomena circulate in this region and nothing is surprising”, Arifi said of the Express Journal.

On the other hand, in the confidential letter of the European Council for Foreign Relations (ECFR), led by Rober Cooper, in addition to the setbacks for partitioning Kosovo, raised yet another concern for possible unrest in Serbia on the eve of elections for the National Minorities Council to be held tomorrow.

According to this letter, a possible passage of the situation in the Presevo Valley could reportedly force Kosovo and Serbia to reach an agreement as quickly as possible.

It is very possible that this election will be used to weaken the bodies of minority self-government, which have recently been portrayed as separatist movements. An ethnic crossing in Presevo and Novi Pazar could bring an emergency for signing a” agreement, the letter said.

However, the Presevo municipality chief says empowering Albanians in this election for National Minorities Councils would be of great help to Albanians, especially in the field of education.

The Albanian National Council is another mechanism involving four areas: Education, culture, national symbols, and education in Albanian. School texts depend on the National Council, or the use of national symbols, or even the formation of a memorandum for Albanian national culture depend on this Council”, Presevo chairman has said.

He does not believe there will be incidents along these elections, and says empowering this National Council of Albanians would also help Serbia fulfil the obligations for minorities leaving the European Union.

I do not believe that the Albanian National Council will be isolated from Serbia and that incidents will arise there. I don't think so. Strengthening the Albanian National Council strengthens Serbia's government, in that direction to meet EU requirements for empowering minorities”, Arifi has added further.

As for the consisting of Cooper's secret letter, that the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia is only about partitioning Kosovo in exchange for recognition by Serbia, without joining the Presevo Valley, Arifi says such a thing does not come into question.

It does not come into question. I don't even believe that Kosovo politics allows, nor does Valley politics allow” has ended the mayor of the Presevo municipality, Shqirim Arifi.

The Express newspaper yesterday has published a complete secret document by the European Council for Foreign Relations in which secret talks on the division of Kosovo are uncovered.
