PDK calls conference for media

According to this party's Media Office announcement, the conference will be held at 1: 00 p.m.

The announcement showed the reason for the conference, but it is expected to be related to the Government's decision on license plates.

The Kosovo government has unveiled a plan for the issue of plates issued by Serbia, to be implemented in several phases. The plan envisions as early as April 21st of next year “will be removed” all plates that are not RKS- Republic of Kosovo.

For three weeks, starting on November 1st through November 21st, the measure will be the one to blame. Then, from November 21st, for two months until 21st, it will be the penalty measure and then from January 21st, we will have test plates for another two months, after which the date, on April 21st, cannot have because no other license plates can be allowed in the Republic of Kosovo”, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said during the cabinet meeting held on October 28th.

Following this decision by the Government of Kosovo has reacted to the head of the office for Kosovo in the Serbian government, Petar Petkovic, who has named it “magification”.

“Any kind of crisis and tension in Kosovo and Metohija were avoided only because of the prudent and responsible behavior of our people there and [Serbia's] President Aleksandar Vuciq, therefore there is no submission to the fraud Kurti and [Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi are trying to make, through this decision, charging that they are willing to compromise. That is because, all they do, they do it within the long-term goal of driving the Serb people out of Kosovo, and Belgrade will not allow this”, he said.

Kosovo's Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, said that citizens in the north by 31 March could benefit tax facilities after re-registering their cars at RKS. Asked that if this decision implies extending the deadline for license plates, he said Kosovo has not postponed implementation of the decision, but “we have escalated and sequenced it”.

Kurti reiterated that plates with Serbian acronyms for Kosovo cities are illegal.

The deadline for reregistering cars with license plates issued by Serbia in advance expires on October 31st, and the Government said that with this new decision it is showing seriousness to implement the decision it has made, but “at the same time giving a chance to give those interested to integrate”.
