Kuci: If KFOR takes north, Kosovo returns before February 17th 2008

Former Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Hajredin Kuci commented on Albania's prime minister, Edi Rama,'s statement of adding the number of KFOR members to northern Kosovo.

Kuci said that outside of guarding the borders KFOR has with a mandate, any change of northern Kosovo status would be a return before February 17th 2008 and return under the administration of Resolution 1244.

As far north as this is concerned, I think there's no need to have any other status north. The North should have the status of every municipality what other municipalities have. KFOR is committed, we are grateful to protect the borders of the Republic of Kosovo, and in this direction they are welcome to maintain borders, and of course, here I believe that we are grateful for them, states but their families that sent boys and girls to Kosovo. The opposite of that, KFOR, if you take the north, I'm saying it legally, they must have a civil law connection. And that civil law link to Resolution 1244 is UNMIK. So we have a resurrection of February 17th 2008. This should not and should not happen at any time. Centencing Kosovo's borders. Then there is the issue co-ordinated by the Kosovo Police, KSF, KFOR, EULEX, anyone present. But not we have given a mandate because it would be considered that that country is unadministive and that unadministrat country can be held by someone else, in this case a third force what KFOR is. But after that period, it seeks political solutions and we dare not put Kosovo's north under administration. In no case”, Kuci said in the “Republic” of Tv1,
