He has said discussions on establishing association should start immediately.

The question is how soon it will happen. I am aware that with this agreement Kosovo has come to realize it must be done. Discussions about implementation should begin immediately”, Escobar said when asked about the earlier declaration that the association would be done with or without Kurti.
