Take it or leave it: Why did Kurt take him, and Vuchy left him [usually]

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti met in Brussels last night Alexander Vucicin, with European mediator Joseph Borrell and Miroslav Lajcak.

In the statement issued after the meeting, Borrell said the parties expressed their readiness to continue with the implementation of this agreement.

Further negotiations are needed to determine the specific modalities of implementing the” provisions, Borrell said, warning the next meeting between Kurti and Vucinqi in March.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Kurti said after the meeting that he was willing to sign the deal last night, but that the other side was not.

I didn't sign, because the other side wasn't ready to sign. I think it's a shame that it wasn't signed tonight, since we paid”, Kurti said, follow Periscopi.

Meanwhile, Vuciq, on the other hand, said meeting with Kurti has been the difficult “”.

“I think it is important that the EU statement include the necessity of implementing all previous agreements. I, of course, insisted on the Association of Serb majority municipalities”, Vuciq said.

I think Mr. Kurti has not been willing to accept it now. We will see if he will accept it in the future”, he added.

What do these statements mean?

In short, this implies that Kurti has insisted that the Association of Serbian municipalities be not at the helm of the agreement, or there is no agreement that the association be implemented first of all agreements. At the same time, the Serb side, has had the initiative in the opposite direction. The immediate implementation of the Association Agreement.

We remember that Prime Minister Kurti, at the last session of the Kosovo Assembly and one of the rare ones for dialogue, had declared that the European plan is a deal with or permission.

“They made it clear to me that the main proposal this time is near “leje format or take” and that it will not be allowed to open or negotiate it. Their position was that the entire diplomatic and political tool of states from whence to emisars came, has been put in favour of Kosovo's membership in international organisations, and cannot expect a Kosovo diplomatic and political device because we would enter a confrontational path with them”, Kurti had declared at the latest and, among other things, the dialogue in the Parliament.

In the course of reactions and clarifications, analyst Agon Maliqi brought one this morning, with the clarification as follows:

The water that didn't turn into wine!

1. The sides have agreed on the main text, but not also on the annex (the implementation plan), which, according to Borrell, is expected to be clarified in the following month. The dilemma here is not whether the association will be created or not, but when it will be created. Serbia wants it as the first and unblocking step of other steps, Kosovo is likely conditioning it on other agreements and on the harvest of benefits. Much like the principle of pre-governments: “has no agreement for anything without any agreement reached on anything”.

2. The document is full of durability. At the introduction of the text, Kosovo effectively accepts a second input or even extends its life to the first entry, while the parties reportedly reach agreement “without prejudice to the parties' differing views on fundamental issues, including those on status”. So Kosovo agrees with the idea that Serbia does not recognise it.

3. Several points of the document open roads to Kosovo but do not provide guarantees and depend on the will of friendly states to help us thus require parallel negotiation processes with them. Serbia vows (Pika 4) that it will not prevent Kosovo's membership in any international organisation. The point is that nothing prevents Russia and China from carrying out this work for Serbia at the UN, and neither the five states in Europe to continue to hinder us in NATO and the EU. Kosovo last year, instead of investing diagnostic energy in this issue, decided to waste trust and credit to friendly states with unreachable adventures in the north.

4. When you read the text of the agreement and you see the extradition of militants for rejection of association, you are not surprised how people believe in religious mythology of the type “Jesus turned water into vein!” The deal simply reconfirms that Kosovo has lost eight years with political madness to return there has been. Water bottle. The widow has only eyes of believers.
