PDK wants Besnik Bislim to report to the Parliament for Dialogue

The Democratic Party of Kosovo seeks from Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislim to report to the Assembly about dialogue with Serbia and yesterday's meeting in Brussels. Although there was no agreement on license plates or energy, more transparency and clarity in the opposition party are required for discussions with the Serbian side.

PDK MP Ariana Musliu-Sshi says about The KP that Prime Minister Kurti and his dependence on dialogue do not respect the resolution they were in the opposition having adopted, reporting in the Parliament before and after each meeting with Serbia.

The deputy prime minister has had to come to report before his trip to Brussels and will have to come to report after the meeting in Brussels. But these never happened since the day Bislim had this assignment... The deputy prime minister made very frequent visits and we never have any official information and official reporting on what was discussed, except what we see on the deputy prime minister's social networks. The resolution must be respected and must fulfil the legal obligation they have to announce the decision on what is being discussed and conducted in the dialogue”, she says.

Opposition MP criticises the executive for returning dialogue to technical level and that no final agreement is being discussed.

There's a lack of transparency since the first day. We are seeing that it's a completely technical dialogue, we don't have a dialogue that talks about final agreements, it's very important that we know the time when dialogue ends, what are the goals, what we stand for as state”, she adds.

Musliu-Scheshi has also spoken of Kosovo's application to the Council of Europe, which he says is due to all governments.

The “is a good step of our state, is merited by all governments because all the laws and every step we have taken as institutions have been in step and line with European standards. The rising has been an extraordinary day for all of us, we hope that the government has already concluded the issue of lobbiing, and we as a state will be able to be on the agenda at the next meeting where it will be discussed by foreign affairs ministers. It is disturbing, however, whether we are not a formal part of the agenda but are just informal parts of the agenda. Since if we are not part of the formal agenda, this means that we will not be able to start membership procedures until next year, when it is the next meeting of the Committee of Ministers. Since you know that such meetings are held only once a year and we do not always have the opportunity as a state to hand in the possibility of applying”, she claims.

However, it requires the foreign affairs minister and the heads of state lobbie for full membership in the KiE.

In addition, she says that the top diplomat has had to consult the Assembly for application to this international organisation.

The “has had to have a preliminary consultation on why when we go to the Council Assembly, we have commission meetings, there are two regular sessions held, we meet delegations, the president of the assembly, we also meet delegations of states that have not recognised the state of Kosovo. Consequently, as an MP we have an extraordinary possibility of lobeing which we definitely need in this area, as well as ministry directives”, it concludes.

The Council of Europe is the oldest intergovernmental organisation in Europe, which is aimed at ensuring co-operation and unity among its members on the grounds of protecting human rights, democracy and rule of law. On Thursday, Kosovo officially submitted the application for membership to this organisation.
