Hoti: Kurt was confrontational with parties about the dialogue process, I would invite everyone to the table

Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti, speaking of Kosovo's dialogue with Serbia, has said he and President Hashim Thaci have the competencies shared. In an interview for Voice of America, he has said that in the last government, its leader has had no will to assume co-ordination role among political forces about the dialogue process.

No, absolutely not. As long as we all apply our constitutional obligations there should be no problem in this regard. What needs to happen, which has been missing in the past, because in the last government in particular there has been no will from the head of government to assume the co-ordination role among political forces in this process, but more has had a confrontational approach, perhaps for other political interests, but now it is not important”

Our “the point is that we bring everyone together to the table, and I will soon begin a round of consultations with all the leaders of the parliamentary political parties, to introduce them to our approach that is not unknown. All citizens know the approach we have as a governing coalition, even as the Democratic League, and now as the ruling coalition. Now it is the position of the Kosovo government to face this process of dialogue -- that is, a table of discussion, consultations with political party leaders to present how we see this process and to ask them to be involved all the time in this <x1 process.

I will keep constantly informed and involved not only when the agreement is reached but during the entire process, so that once for all I can close the agreement with Serbia, because I believe it is a vital interest in peace and stability for the entire region”.
