Valley Albanians seek from Kurti toj part of dialogue with Serbia

One of the proposals Kurt made at the meeting with Vuciqi is that after mutual recognition Serbs in Kosovo may have their Nacional Council, as do Albanians and Bosniaks in Serbia.

Mustaf in Info Magazine said the power of the Albanian National Council is too weak and consistently discriminated against.

“In Serbia are 24 national minority councils as part of the minority rights convention under the legal framework has been assured that they have power in areas such as education, culture, information and use of minority language and writing and national symbols”.
With the passing of time and changes the Constitutional Court has made, and then with approval in 2018, the executive powers of the Council have been lowered”, Mustaf says.

Mustaf, among other things, says Serbs in Kosovo have rights over any standard and the same does not happen with Albanians in Serbia who have been consistently discriminated against.

“The issue of the rights of Albanians in Serbia and Serbs in Kosovo is a non-asymmetric distribution. However, I want to believe that the prime minister at the meeting has made his own funeral. But, today the level of rights Serbs have under the Republic of Kosovo ʹ guaranteed constitutional rights are above those minority rights standards, and specifically there are almost enough of those European”.

“does not compare opportunities and spaces for more justice and equality allowed to Serbs in Kosovo in relation to Albanians in Serbia”.

Today we have the use of the flag prohibited by law, and in high school we have no books in Albanian and lack of financing on Albanian televisions we have consistently discriminated against”, Mustaf said.

Mustaf stressed, among other things, that without the inclusion of the Presevo Valley there will be no normalisation of Kosovo-Serbia relations.

The “will see how dialogue will go and we have always asked that we be part of the dialogue, since we have consistently called for the Albanian country to advance in Serbia. We consider this to be the last opportunity for regulating the status of Kosovo Valley Albanians”.

“Kurti had the first meeting with Vucic and asked for his things and we think there will be no normalisation of relations with Serbia without the inclusion of the Presevo Valley and we appreciate that this is mentioned at the meeting because we have always been discriminated against”.
