Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has said that the particular year we are leaving behind has been the creation of a new international moment for closing open issues among Western Balkan states. He says he expects opposition parties to join dialogue and that international messages to these parties are clear.
Besides showing the obsession he had last year for a <x0momentum” on the agreement with Serbia, Thaci says that this year he expects a peaceful agreement with Serbia that will bring Kosovo's membership to the United Nations and recognition from Serbia is the main ambition for 2019.
While, Thaci says international pressure has begun to be seen in opposition parties, which, according to him, are approaching with attitudes about dialogue.
The international community has also begun to be clearer in its messages. This is reflected even in the positions of Kosovo political parties, more precisely in the approach of political parties' positions for dialogue”, Thaci has indicated.
representatives of opposition parties are also invited to the state delegation's meetings for dialogue. I hope that even opposition parties will soon assume the role they have to play in this important and historic process for Kosovo”, he has said in an interview for the New Age.
Otherwise, in the negotiating team formed through a resolution that has passed through the Kosovo Assembly, the Social Democrat Party has joined as the only opposition.
Its chairman, Shpend Ahmeti, will be co-chairman with Fatmir Limaj in a delegation consisting of government partners.
It is unknown what their role will be, as Mogher's office recognises Thaci as the only negotiator with Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq.
