Resolutions cannot prevent dialogue with Serbia

It is about the resolution adopted in the Parliament following the arrest of current Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj in France, as a result of a Serbian state's warrant against him in Interpol last year.

As well as the 2016 resolution adopted due to Serbia's arrest of former KLA members, after former police colonel Nehat Thaci was arrested in Serbia.

Both resolutions say dialogue should be suspended until Serbia removes warrants that have no legal basis, which were considered political persecution against former KLA members and current Kosovo political figures that were part of it.

However, they had never had the necessary power for the Government or the Presidency that continued the dialogue.

Same as those two resolutions, politicians and experts, they say it could end up the next resolution that has been proposed to be voted in the country by the opposition, which is designed to stop President Thaci or anyone else from negotiating Kosovo's borders.

That is because parliamentary resolutions have no binding power.

Avni Zogiani from the Vetevendosje Movement told Kosova Pres that Thaci has always ignored Parliamentary decisions, which he will do again.

The resolutions that were issued following the arrest of former KLA members, according to him, speak of restrictions Thaci had never considered.

Zogiane also explains why resolutions cannot have any effect. And for that, he cites the April 2013 agreement, in which the Government of Kosovo vows to continue dialogue with Serbia, with the ease of Brussels, which Parliament itself had approved.

Even Isuf Zamena from the Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI) told Kosovo Preress that resolutions could not have any responsibilities, for example, what the laws have.

But according to him, they still present a political stance on a specific situation that authorities in the country, such as the presidency, would have to take into account.

On Monday, the Parliamentary Group's leadership will consider the request of the LDK parliamentary group that supports the opposition in parliament, holding an extraordinary session on September 4th, and in which a parliamentary resolution banning President Thaci and anyone else discussing Kosovo's borders in talks with Serbia will be proposed.

This opposition response comes after President Thaci had publicly come up with the idea of mending the borders between Kosovo and Serbia.

Against the opposition and civil society that has warned protests against Thaci on 5 September this year.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and some EU ministers have also emerged against border correction.

While commenting on the opposition's call for holding the extraordinary session and adopting the resolution against Thaci, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj at the media conference has said the session is just another political event.

The Democratic League of Kosovo, which has proposed the resolution against Thaci, has declined to address the issue.
