Ahmeti: We have a plan B to unlock dialogue

Despite the widespread importance for dialogue, which Kosovo and Serbia are expected to come up with a peaceful international agreement, the Kosovo delegation in these talks does not have a plan B to resolve the issue after the Serbian delegation's insistence.

Co-chairman of the State Delegation in the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, Shpend Ahmeti, said Kosovo has no other plan for exiting the situation.

He declared that if the dialogue does not continue Serbia should negotiate, while Kosovo bears the consequences.

No! We continue, life goes on. It's not an end to something that remains because it's the government's decision remains to co-ordinate with the dialogue team to decide if the government's decision is not to continue. It's just we say we don't remove the tax, then, it's Serbia to discuss and negotiate. While Kosovo bears the consequences of not continuing, whatever those” are, Ahmeti said.

Serbia's conditions, Ahmeti, have called them unnecessary. According to him, the delegation is working with Brussels on forming the framework of dialogue and its format.

“Once for a time attitude is without tax removal, there is no dialogue. Serbia has kept this. So they are not responding to invitations to continue dialogue. They have said that without tax removal, no dialogue continues, so we are once working with the Brussels team on creating the framework of dialogue and dialogue forms if it starts. So if Serbia gets this condition, because we think conditions are unnecessary or if anything else happens. So we're getting ready to say that tomorrow it starts”, Ahmeti added to Online Economics.

Ahmeti stressed that Brussels does not have any concrete requirements on Kosovo, except to hand over all of Kosovo's written positions.

No! Brussels is demanding that all these topics that we have raised be written down on positions and requirements that we will present in dialogue. We're writing about some of these subjects, including the raw ones, but all of this will be transparent and the associations will know it and they'll be a lot of time. So there is nothing that is not known as to demands”, Ahmeti said.

The Kosovo State Delegation's co-chairman for talks with Serbia also spoke of the involvement of the issue of the unknown in dialogue.

He said the commission for the issue of the unattended as part of the delegation has been established, and it will become functional within this week.
