Thaci: I'm a follower of the Valley joining Kosovo, I'll put this issue in Washington.

President Hashim Thaci will seek the association of Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanoc with Kosovo at Saturday's meeting with the Serbian side in Washington. The first state in an interview for Kosova Prees says this issue is principled for the country and, of course, that there will be such conversations in Washington. For that, Thaci voiced sceptical that a final agreement could be reached at the June 27th meeting. Until he says there won't be a <x0mini-segen” in the final agreement with the neighbouring state.

Despite saying that in Washington they will go with the state flag of sovereignty and territorial integrity, Thaci says demarcation of the border with Serbia can open various topics and discussions, but without showing what they can be.

There is no agreement between two sovereign countries without demarcation of the border, without setting the borderline by experts from the two countries. This is the methodology followed in the case of reaching agreement for mutual recognition between the two countries. Those who think otherwise are also ignorant of politics and diplomacy of all other spheres. The demarcation will naturally take place on the current lines, but it must be closed. This opens various topics and discussions, I am not an expert in this direction, but there can be no closure of the Kosovo-Serbia conflict without the definition of the border demarcation. Of course I was, and will remain a powerful follower that Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanoc join Kosovo. I know it's gonna be really hard, but I don't mind having this thing on the table all the time. There's no monopoly on this issue and it's nobody's property, like it's not even mine, it's a principle issue, and there's going to be stable principled discussions in Washington.

As for the idea of a <x0mini-marking” of the US dialogue representative Richard Green, the head of the country says there are different ideas for economic development, but sure there won't be a “mini-segen” that it rejected.

The focus according to him should be on mutual recognition and Kosovo's membership in the UN.

The “will face us as equal parties to our state flags, will be of small, minimal possibilities for reaching any agreement. But we'll do the best job. There won't be a '%i-sengen. There are different ideas now, there are different assessments by different European and American experts and diplomats. But in reality, only those who will be at the chat table” will face reality, he says.

President Thaci for Kosovo Press also commented on tomorrow's visit to the prime minister, Avdullah Hotin, to Brussels.

He says that despite the visit, there will be no factors that can change Washington's agenda, until he says that in the third week of July, dialogue can continue at the Paris Summit.

“Vlerating that these meetings will be productive for the country and informed of the prime minister with the new authorities in Brussels. Every visit by any institutional or party leader wherever in Brussels or Washington is welcome to our country. Under no circumstances have any factors that could change Washington's agenda, because it is a clear focus of Ambassador Greenell and the parties have already agreed that all of it would happen in Washington at this period of time with the possibility of continuing to the Paris Summit to continue further to Brussels”, he says.

On the guidance of the dialogue, Thaci stressed that the country's Constitution clearly defines the hierarchy and institutional responsibilities for who will be the head of the dialogue with Serbia.

“Kosovo will be represented by the president and prime minister, and institutional responsibilities are more than clear”, he said.

On Saturday 27 June, the Kosovo delegation consisting of president Hashim Thaci and Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti will meet for the first time in Washington with the Serbian side. Until the country's first in December, alone had held a meeting with President Vuciq, but without reaching a final agreement.
