Baraliu: Thaci's agreement with NATO has been known, no one has reacted before

The prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, through an official letter has informed Kosovo Assembly Speaker Vjosa Osmani about the constitutional exchange of letters from April 19th 2013, between then Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and then NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

Under this agreement, Prime Minister Thaci, on behalf of the Republic of Kosovo, bore to KFOR the absolute right to veto all future KSF missions in northern Kosovo, for an unfathomated period.

The university professor and connoisseur of the Constitution, Mazum Baraliu, did not want to comment on this action of Kurti, which he calls political, but also the agreement signed by Thaci, says no one has the right to sign something that would define KSF activity.

“Can't be anyone, anyone who is to sign that an institution that's most important to the defence, which is the KSF, now what's in the constitution and it's still unfortunately, even after this law that they're saying they've transformed, nothing has transformed, not that government, nor the last one that passed because without change the constitution can't have any transformation of the KSF into the army and in the constitution still remains the appointment KSF. So nobody can sign, define KSF activity, either as a civil emergency organization or even other functions”.

Baraliu added to Indexline that such a signed agreement has been known, but that no one has reacted before.

This has been made known several times by Kosovo's designated security representatives that there is no need to name names, which is simply hosted by Kosovo for KSF to have no access there. So it's a swimming fact that has become public and no one has reacted then.

Now I don't know why it's being reacted, what's its effect, but I think that clause, anyone who signed it, has no value and can't have value, because in the constitution sovereignty is extended throughout the country and Kosovo institutions have to exercise their sovereignty, each under the constitution on the entire territory and each exercise its duties and responsibilities within the entire territory of Kosovo, and not only partially.

No one is entitled, in the name of anyone especially not to the constitution and the functions they carry to sign something written in the constitution, so that they do not exercise their duties and responsibilities within the territory.

Nobody's right, and every debate is in vain, and it's something that's incompatible with constitution”.

While, according to the constitutional assessment issued by the Kosovo prime minister's Legal Office, Thaci has reportedly committed serious constitutional violations, and this provides basis for launching procedures for his dismissal. /
