Parties did not reach demarcation agreement, effort continues tomorrow

The Express newspaper has learned, from sources involved in the discussions, that the parties will try to reach an agreement during tomorrow's day.

According to these sources, a clash between the Democratic League of Kosovo and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo is hindering the achievement of the multiparty agreement on Demarketing.

It is learned that the LDK and AAK are being delayed for the terminology the two parties are not agreeing to the appointment of the border demarcation report, compiled by the state commission, which is led by Speed Bulqi.

Earlier, the LDK has issued a communiqué for the media, saying it has offered solutions to the ruling coalition for demarcation, but has not shown what exactly.

Kosovo's “Democratic Order -- at meetings with ruling coalition parties -- has offered the most reasonable solution, which paves the way for ratification of the Border Mark Agreement between Kosovo and Montenegro” -- is said in the communiqué.

The LDK has called on parties of the ruling coalition to agree to the solution it proposed, and to secure the votes of the ruling majority.

“The LDK assures citizens that its will is in full accordance with their will for free movement and that our parliamentary group is unique in that stance”, the LDK's communique concludes.

Meanwhile, the chief of the European Union Office in Kosovo, Natalia Apostolova, has called on Kosovo politicians to ratify the Agreement for Demarcation of the Border between Kosovo and Montenegro.

After the Kosovo Assembly today has failed to pass Demarkation, whose ratification is holding visa liberalisation hostage for Kosovo citizens, Apostolova has made an appeal to the country's leaders, in its official account, on Twitter.

The consensus finding for the demarcation vote indicates leadership”, Apostolova has declared.

“I call on Kosovo politicians to think of the citizens of Kosovo and of Kosovo youth”, it has written on Twitter.
