Kurt today waits at Haradinaj meeting, LDK PDK rejected its invitation

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has submitted an invitation to the opposition meeting Wednesday, shortly after meeting with Special Envoy of the United States for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar.

Kurti's invitation has rejected the leaders of the two biggest opposition parties in the country, Lumir Abdixhiku's Memli Krasniqi.

Krasniqi has called Kurti's invitation unserious, without content, without agenda and without protocol, thus refusing participation in the meeting.

Krasniqi has declared that he will go to Kurti for technical issues, but only when the final agreement with Serbia is discussed.

Only after we asked for clarification did we understand in a sentence through email that it was a very serious topic like the Kosovo-Serbia Dialogue. No specific details specified. I remind you that you have no reason to invite us to meetings on technical issues. And when there is concrete discussion of the final agreement, we will be there. There are days when the opinion speaks of a document you have on the table about the agreement to normalise relations between the two countries, offered by Kosovo international partners”, Krasniqi said through a video cell phone published on his Facebook page.

Krasniqi has said that for such topics, the site of discussion should be the Kosovo Assembly Hall, not the office.

But, for such topics, for major decisions, you must first be serious and understand that the location of discussion is not an office, but it is the Kosovo Assembly Hall, because Kosovo's Assembly is the address of the people. Therefore, the discussions you've been thinking about Friday in your office, I invite you to be carried to the Assembly”, Krasniqi said.

Not even Obadiah will go to this meeting.

LDK spokeswoman Sübel Halimi has said the question of dialogue, which was rumoured would be discussed Friday at the meeting, Kurti must report only to the Parliament.

On the topic of dialogue, Kosovo's prime minister must report only to the Kosovo Assembly. There the LDK will refocus its attitudes. This has been the agreement of leaders from the preliminary meeting... The LDK, the final agreement with Serbia, should be made only about mutual recognition. In this agreement of recognition, constitutional order, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country are non-negotiable. ”, Halimi has declared.

The invitation to Kurti's meeting has been accepted by Alliance for the Future of Kosovo leader Ramush Haradinaj.

“Chairman Haradinaj takes part at a meeting Friday”, AAK spokesman Lulzim Blaka has declared.

Kurt's invitation to the opposition came shortly after his meeting with Special Envoys of the United States for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar.

Escobar after meeting with Kurti, reiterated that the US supports Kosovo in all its Euro-Atlantic aspirations.

The “is a steadfast partnership between Kosovo and the US. We also discussed relations issues with Serbia and regional implications from the dialogue. We discussed the dialogue process and how important it is to line up with European values at this very important time of crisis on the European continent. The US supports Kosovo in all their Euro-Atlantic aspirations and will see opportunities to have partnership with Kosovo to enable such a thing”, Escobar said.

After the meeting, Escobar has also given an interview for Kanal 10, where she said she has asked Kosovo institutions to extend the terms for the plates for 10 months, but that she failed to make any commitments to either President Vjosa Osmani or Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

Escobar has declared that the most important for Kosovo is membership in the European Union and NATO, as well as recognition by the five non-recognitional EU states.

For recognition by Serbia, it has said it will happen in a phase later.

“think, that recognition will happen, will have to happen sometime at a stage later. The question is when such recognition will take place. But what is important for Kosovo is to start a more stable path towards integration into Euro-Atlantic structures, including recognition by the five non-recognising EU states. That's the most important thing you can find out that anything else in the process” has been declared Escobar.

He also spoke of the Franco-German proposal, which he said is fully supported by the United States of America.

The US Emisari also found that at the meeting with Osmani they have talked about establishing the Association of Serb majority municipalities, exactly about how some European models can be made. He said establishing association is an important element of the final agreement.

For the deadlines for reaching an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, Escobar said he has heard from European colleagues that this is a matter of weeks, not years.

And for elements of a final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, Escobar said they depend on the parties themselves, but that the US will make sure that they do affect Kosovo's independence, sovereignty and functionality.
