(8 years ago)The issue of Kosovo dialogue -- Serbia has never emerged as the agenda in the Parliament during this legislature. Opposition parties are objecting to dialogue developing without a platform that leaves the Parliament, but, so far, no action for the issue to be discussed at one of the Assembly sessions. One [...]
The government once sent a platform for Kosovo- Serbia and later has withdrawn it. As a result, there has been no real debate about the future of dialogue since September last year. So says Life Krasniqi from the Kosovo Democratic Institute. KDI has called on MPs to call an extraordinary session, but Krasniqi says the opposition is not unified, public television writes.
What we're seeing is that there is no unification of political parties. We see that even parties that are in government do not have the same attitude towards Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. Now all political parties are offering different platforms, but what is missing is for political parties to sit down and make that platform of Kosovo side discussions in these talks” Krasniqi has said.
But, ununified about dialogue, the LDK itself turns out to be. The president has no constitutional competencies and political legitimacy to lead this process” has repeatedly repeated the LDK parliamentary group chief Avdullah Hoti several times. While LDK deputy chairman Lutfi Haziri sought not to set the precedent for rejection of institutions. Unlike the LDK, representatives of the Social Democratic Party say they have, in principle, reconciled with representatives of other parties for the Assembly to be the institution from which the dialogue starts and is discussed. Visar Ymer from the PSD says this party is working to make this idea happen.
“We will try and engage naturally as a social-democrat party to meet even at bilateral meetings, that is, representatives of the PSD and representatives of parties, in order to discuss this text, which is those remarks and changes that this idea and this mechanism must undergo so that it can then be transformed into the decision of the Republic of Kosovo” Ymer said.
However, agreements that are reached under the dialogue process must be ratified in the two-thirds parliamentary Assembly, so consensus is necessary for that. On the contrary, this could burden the process or have negative effects on Kosovo on this process, analysts say.
