Fatmir Sejdiu: Kosovo should have its own plan for Association

Kosovo's president during the 2006-10 mandate, Fatmir Sejdiu, says Kosovo should have a plan of its own, to form the Association of Serb-run municipalities.

Sejdiu, says the association should be like a stand-by mechanism, as Ahtisaari's package has envisioned, not at other levels that would mean conducting executive functions.

The “Association has been a type of argument, in the way interpretations of the formation goal are started as a Ahtisaari assistance mechanism”, he said.

In the Ahtisaari Plan, Sejdiu stressed, the association is envisioned, but which in no form at other levels, which would mean conducting executive or representative functions.

Kosovo's “Pala must have its own project, a project that is based on those principles, those principles are related to the character of association, that is, a mechanism that is aided by the majority Albanian municipalities in other parts of Kosovo and to be done in a form that has no claim, simply to overcome and become a model, which is practically incompatible with the Kosovo Constitution itself, because we have from the earlier agreements and the Constitutional Court responses, and it must also be ignored<1...

Sejdiu, who was also chairman of the Democratic League of Kosovo, estimates that the association could be formed without taking the character of the executive.

I now see ideas that need to be changed Constitution to do something else, that is absolutely meaningless. It cannot be changed by what has been a joint investment, except for the Ahtisaari project that has given basic principles, it has been an investment with international factors to make the entire subsequent revolution, which has to do with different fields, but also with the Association itself -- that is, a necessary aid mechanism -- nothing more than what is predicted. Perhaps it can be in the part of complete clarifications at the fundamental points that could be the subject of direct engagement of association, so without the character, what is called executive or representative, because the fundamental tendency is this”, he added.

Sejdiu has also talked about normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia, where, according to him, Kosovo's defacto recognition is essential for easing the aggressive Serbia has.

“I say it is essential that recognition of Kosovo defacto, as an important degree of easing that aggression Serbia has and has in the future, and never allow an interpretation of the other form, which would risk returning to such a situation again, when there will be nothing out of the agreement as if these investigations for the Ohrid Agreement were merely” were expressed.
