The idea to exchange territories is tragic, says Hoti

LDK parliamentary group chief Avdullah Hoti at the life-moderate table Jarra, <x0Lo with Borders: War or selection in the Balkans?” said the LDK has this attitude for three decades now and we dare not debate territorial exchanges, as this belongs only to sovereign and nobody else.

Hoti said this idea of exchange of territories stems from Serbia's leadership is the idea of the East Belgrade and Moscow.

What you will hear from me is the LDK's position and you will not hear creative ideas, but it is the LDK's stance for three decades now. This phrase was presented hundreds of thousands of times, but believe me it is the formula for stability in the Balkans. Kosovo as an independent state is a compromise for an independent state, but it is a compromise for balance in Rajon and now we are not able to bargain with territories. Now we have over 100 recognitions, we've been stuck in international recognitions for three years now, but this is not that we're stuck in the state formation, it's a fact that we don't have control over Mitrovica, but that also doesn't give me the right to discuss the territory and put me on the map of the territories<1>, Hoti said.
He reiterated how the LDK is not against dialogue, but according to him it should be done wisely.

This is a tragic idea and it's the idea of President Thacil. We have asked the Parliament for a clear resolution that the state of Kosovo is incompatible and has no right neither the president nor anyone else to discuss the borders of the state, but we, above all, want to send a message to the internationals that the state of Kosovo decides according to its representatives, as well as to the residents of Presevo and Serbia. We as LDK are not against dialogue, I hope today or tomorrow to achieve the wisdom needed to start this resolution on talks with Belgrade, but not in exchange for territories. This government is taken hostage and I don't know Haradinaj has been pushed away from our” idea, Hoti said.

These statements were issued at the “Lo with Borders: War or solution in the Balkans? ” will be discussed for the position of Kosovo political parties about this idea, the cost of such an option for Kosovo, as well as the future of Kosovo's economic and strategic assets located across the Iber River.
