“Two critical points which citizens but also the ruling party, which has lobbied mostly not to happen, were the main ones, which, depending on what Mr. Borrell said, Kosovo together with Serbia have undertaken to implement 33 agreements reached so far, for which there should be additional discussions regarding the modalities of these agreements in practice, depending on whether the association will be the first or 33rd agreement, including Kosovo's obligations on the rights of the Serbian Orthodox Church<1) said in Kftar.
Miftaraj stressed that the main point regarding de-facto recognition that has been constantly promoted, Borrell did not mention it under any circumstances.
He added that the critical point of the Republic of Kosovo has been that if the demand for recognition at the centre is impossible, at least Serbia is obliged not to prevent Kosovo from accepting international organisations, adding that this point was not mentioned in Borrell's statement.
If this isn't part of the deal that they agreed on today, not only do we have no recognition at the de-jure center, but also de-facto recognition is missing. Based on what Vuciq declared after the meeting. He somehow rejected this agreement, where, according to him, they have not reached agreement, they have only agreed to continue to discuss in the future, where, according to him, it should be Kosovo's obligation to establish the association”, Miftaraj said.
