Opposition, without strategy to stop the dialogue team

But such a thing is not expected to happen during this mandate. Even the two largest opposition parties -- the Democratic League of Kosovo and the Vetevendosje Movement, which are major opponents of Kosovo's current negotiators in dialogue with Serbia -- have no plan on how to stop the final phase.

In the Democratic League of Kosovo, the only solution to halt the negotiating team is the elections, thus expecting the self-destruction of the Government.

Naser Rugova, deputy of this party, has told the newspaper “Zeri” that the LDK considers that parliamentary elections should be organised and that a government should come which has both civic and electoral grounds, but also constitutional and political legitimacy to take responsibility for dialogue with Serbia. “Seeing that the president has a position of his own, and the Government has a position of its own, then this negotiating team is trying to build a position of its own recently, even the chief speaker as leader of the largest coalition party has uncoordinated positions, then definitely this whole sensitive theme should be weighed in the political will of the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo”, Rugova said.

He has said that protests are currently not an option for LDK. “We like LDK have institutional logic and have sacrificed much as a party to build sovereign institutions. The LDK when it invites people to protest doesn't go back to institutions and for now we don't believe the road would be a solution at this time. Personally, as an MP, I'm about politics being made in institutions, and I didn't want to see that in 2019 my country's institutions make politics outside of institutions and the way to direct political location”, Rugova said.

And Vetevendosje deputy Ismail Kurteshi, not stating it, but neither denying the possibility of protests nor giving a concrete plan on how to stop the negotiating team, indicated once again that his party stands flatly against this team. He added that the current team is accepting the talks under him <x0legal>” that President Thaci has developed with Vuciqi. “It has been seen that the political subsidies that have formed this team have not been sincere when they are claimed to oppose territorial correction talks and that they oppose anyone who makes those talks, as they have already been made to the president. But now we have also heard the chief governor who says the president has his constitutional rights, which means they somehow accept what President Thaci has so illegally developed with Vuciqi in the talks”, the potential Kurteshi.

According to him, the current team is only a shadow of President Thaci, who, as Kurteshi has already said, has started negotiations without the approval of the non-reform and non-reform Assembly. “Ekipi is only shadow of the president, because he has also started negotiations without the approval of the Parliament, without introducing any kind of platform, nor the topics of conversation he is doing in Brussels with Vucinqi, which means that for us the president's talks are illegal, whereas what has happened with this team will not only legitimize what the president is illegally doing, he said.

On the other hand, political affairs connoisseur Mazum Baraliu in a pronomination for “Zerin” has described the opposition as uncoordinated against the negotiating team, which they are opposing all the time. According to him, the opposition is pretending to be a united opposition, but there is really no harmony among them. “There is no co-ordination of the opposition, they are trying to present both a common voice, but even these are completely uncoordinated and unharmoniated concepts, and we have an unfortunate situation of total distribution of both position and opposition, and in fact these institutions and this political class are witnessing for years unable to adequately represent the interests of the citizens of Kosovo”, Baraliu said.

According to Baraliu, besides the major opposition, there are also within the position and negotiating team. He said this team in its composition certainly has to include the two largest opposition parties.

It is obvious that this team within its structures has many differences of ideas, concepts and visions on issues that should be discussed in the final phase of the dialogue. This team does not actually present consensus and does not represent much of the Albanian electorate in Kosovo, and this is a defect that this negotiating team would have to take into account and, at any cost, insist that the team get the two opposition parties, the LDK and LVV, at”, he has said.
