She has said that the invitation has responded positively, since the US is a factor of stability and peace for the entire Balkans and in particular for Kosovo.
So I'll be present at the meeting and of course it's a consultative meeting, we'll express our positions and I see that the European target sector is invited. Does this meeting mean that association will only start to apply? No, if you see my personal position, not just the position of the government, it's a”, she said of the public broadcaster.
Deputy Prime Minister Rexhepi has said her personal position is against forming one-ethnic association.
My personal position is that I have always opposed the formation of ethnic municipalities, against the formation of one nationality municipalities. Look what happened. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska has been doing all these years and the entire process of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a remaining state. What are the huge and human damage caused by the war of the 1990s, and the Srebrenica genocide, what happened to Bosniaks, and despite all that so far, Bosnia was stoned in every sense. And today, from presuppose, we as a government are doing everything that doesn't happen”, Rexhepi has declared.
She has stressed that, with association, an ethnic one is discriminated against by other nationalities living in northern Kosovo municipalities.
Meanwhile, the government has not confirmed its participation in the table. In addition to Deputy Prime Minister Rexhepi, the minister for Kthim and Community, Nenad Rassic, has confirmed the turnout.
