Political analysts continue to criticise the LDK, saying its mutual positions cannot lead anywhere as far as participation is concerned in the dialogue with Serbia.
Recently, the Democratic League of Kosovo provided specific criteria and conditions under which it could eventually be included within the negotiation process with Serbia. First of all, the LDK, according to its officials, requires that the negotiating team have a full institutional and constitutional legitimacy in Kosovo and second, that negotiations abide by the principles of the Quint countries, preferring that the process's guarantors be also in the United States.
Imer Mushkolaj, analyst, said the LDK and its political representatives should be clear and show they want to participate in the negotiating team.
“The LDK must participate in the necessary actions to establish these dialogue frames. It's so easy to stand by and expect someone else to put the frames or point them into dialogue. But the party's responsibility, in this case even of the LDK, is to be an active part of the process if it really wants to help the dialogue. Otherwise, if it doesn't want to be part of the dialogue or the negotiating team, it should make it clear as the Vetevendosje Movement, which says we don't participate in the team and we are against this” agreement, Mushkolaj praised.
However, the Kosovo Assembly has managed to establish a negotiator team, consisting of representatives of the ruling political parties, as well as the opposition subject Social Democrat Party. The two largest opposition parties -- the Democratic League of Kosovo and the Vetevendosje Movement -- have refused to be part of this team.
The negotiating team is expected to go to a meeting in Brussels on January 8th, 2019. The dialogue on normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia, which in 2011 had started as a dialogue on regulating technical issues, to continue later as political dialogue, has not produced the expected results of the parties in the dialogue, or the European Union, as a facilitator of this process, assessing the connoisseurs of political issues in the country. /Rel
