“I just met Mr. President. Borell and I explained that he will come to Brussels again on May 18th for a working dinner and then the next chapter of dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia could start once in June”, Kurti said before the Eurodeputs.
He reiterated his stance on dialogue with Serbia that it must be well prepared and realised on the basis of principles.
Kosovo Prime Minister also said that at the negotiating table Kosovo will be equal to Serbia.
My “obligation to protect Kosovo's independence, we are for dialogue but for a good dialogue prepared and principled. First is the acceptance of reality, Kosovo's independence on the basis of the Ahtisaari Pack has been compromise, opening that package meant opening the list of wishes and incentives that would lead to undesirable consequences. The second principle is that Serbia must accept the truth and the crimes and genocide it committed for which NATO had to bomb the Belgrade regime, even after the war in Kosovo, the new government in Serbia has not distanced itself from Milosevic. The third principle is the equality of representatives, at each table we sit equally, Kosovo is not the issue, but the party in the dialogue should be understood before any meeting”, Kurti said.
