Journalist Freedom Mehmetaj has published the main part of the report, which highlights three conditions or needs for Kosovo to complete:

Formation of the Serb-based Majority Commission Association 2) Implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision for the Decani Monastery and 3) non-intervention of politics in the judiciary.

Journalist Mehmetaj writes:

News that doesn't want Government to know

The Council of Europe has sent two European lawyers to Kosovo to see how conform Kosovo's legal system is with Council of Europe standards.

On November 27th, there is the public report from the Council of Europe Assembly Office. The potential of Kosovo membership in this body depends on this report.

Other than that, the report highlights three needs (read: conditions) that Kosovo must meet: 1) Forming the Association of Serb-based municipalities, 2) implementing the Constitutional Court's decision on the Decani Monastery and 3) policy non-intervention in the judiciary.

So without association, the road to membership is now blocked even in institutions like the Council of Europe.

The government, except that it has made dialogue with Serbia a precondition for advancing integration into European Union institutions, has already made association necessary even for membership in EU-related mechanisms, such as the Council of Europe.

Every day with this government, it is a step back for Kosovo and the citizens of Kosovo.
