Why did Serbs agree to enter Kurti Government?

Kurti has violated at least two promises at the beginning of the mandate, the government has 15, not 12 ministries, while there are two Serbian List ministers in the cabinet, and not none. The first promise was violated because of the coalition with the LDK, while the motive for violating the second promise, as Deutsche Welle's conversationors say, has to do with other causes.

Coping With Reality

I am not surprised by the choice of two Serbs in the Serbian List government cabinet because Kurti seeks legality and legitimacy of the government cabinet, to promote the Kosovo Constitution” as well, says DW, the head of the European Movement of Serbs in Kosovo and former delegation Rada Trajkovic. She thinks the biggest victim of this decision will be democratisation of the ethnic Serb community in Kosovo.

Loshaj life from the Council for Governing Government says, that Kurti has given many promises, but is now facing political reality. The „E has realised that the Constitution owes government representatives of the List as the subject, which has won the most votes in the election. That way Kurt has shown political maturity and respects Constitution”, says Loshaj of the DW.

Dialogue with Serbia, according to the principle of reciprocity until the recognition of Kosovo as a state, the establishment of the indictment against Serbia for crimes, the introduction of the military service obligation... are just some of Kurt's promises that are contrary to the positions of Serb representatives in the government cabinet. But Trajkovic thinks Serbian ministers will not be able to undermine Kurti's plans. The much larger obstacle will be the wartime opposition, which on the day of the government's election has proved very severe in criticism.

The „Kurti with the election of two Serbian ministers facilitates its position. They will present no problem with the realization of the promises given. Serbian ministers head their political organisation a man who left justice, so their move goes to the service of hiding the truth about the process for the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, because of which they could lose credibility at the whole of“, Trajkovic adds.

While Loshaj sees the Serbian ministers' entry into the Kurti cabinet as a sign of the new prime minister's pragmatism, but also as a sign of Kurti's determination to start an internal dialogue with Kosovo Serbs.

Vucinqi will be hired

The vote on the cabinet of the government, Kurti, has preceded a very long debate on Kurti's insults in the account of Serbs, also calling them “ethnice”, or coalition with “Vuccicin and Radocchicin”, the deputy head of the Serbian List, which Kosovo authorities say has links to Ivanovic's murder.

Trajkovic thinks Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, is not too interested in opposing Kurti's policy. Serbia's „President Vuciq will seek alibi for accepting Kurti's many goals after agreeing to have two ministers in the government. Every day we see a kind of criminalisation in the logistics of the state and numerous relatives of the state of Serbia and the Vuciqit “family, Trajkovic says, adding that Kosovo Serbs will again be a “currency for change”, for Serbia's politics.

Radio Darazevac editor Dimitrijevic thinks the Serbian “List this time will not have that great power, because the current government does not depend on its” votes. Dimitrijevic thinks Serbian ministers and MPs will not try to undermine much of the government's work. While the fact that Serb MPs have been abstracted and have not voted into the new government cabinet, Losha views it as part of the strategy of action. Serbian MPs will try to protect their interests, but primarily the agenda set by Belgrade. /DW
