Article 7 of the European plan Kurt accepted, a bite that's easily overran: Why?

He says: “The two sides commit to creating specific agreements and guarantees, in line with relevant instruments of the Council of Europe and relying on existing European experiences, to ensure a proper level of self-management for the Serb community in Kosovo and the capacity to provide services in specific areas, including access to financial support from Serbia and a direct channel of communication for the Serb community with the Government of Kosovo. The sides will formalise the status of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo and offer strong level of protection for Serbian religious and cultural heritage objects, in line with existing European models”.

Shit.

Point 7 in the European plan agreement, is being assessed as problematic for Kosovo.

The basic agreement accepted by Prime Minister Kurti at point 7 envisions a form of self-management for Serbs in Kosovo, according to European experiences”, former Prime Minister Isa wrote last night. " > Mustafa on Facebook.

In an interview with Periscope, analyst Visar Ymer spoke yesterday.

He said this point is most intriguing, saying Periscop:

“Point 7 is what awakens most curiosity raises questions. So what will be the appropriate level of self-awareness for the Serb community in Kosovo and what does the formalisation of the status of the Serbian Orthodox Church mean. Also problematic, though perhaps symbolic, is Preambula, and especially the part that well understands the different position of parties on issues such as status. This point was to be rejected by Kurt. Its removal would not change the contents of the Agreement at all, but on the other hand would not force Kosovo to express consensus in writing for not recognising Serbia. I also think Kurt would have to insist on the agreement that has mutual recognition as part of it”, Ymer told Periscope, the full interview you can read with here.

Even the spokesman The PDK, Faton Abdullahu, spoke yesterday about problems that arise at 7th of the European plan.

The “Problems are numerous, from those who have not a bit of uncertainty in text, which leave room for different interpretations in the near future, to what recognition of the state of Kosovo is not part of the Agreement. To worse than knowing, the center is what is appointed as And that will be an association with new annexes that go beyond what has been agreed on in earlier dialogue processes. This is widespread degradation and is the policy demarcation of Kurti Government, which is making it especially now two years of”, he said in the interview for Periscope.

Since Periscope, yesterday he discussed the European plan with a series of interviews, among them, the professor and foreign policy connoisseur, Mr. Muhammad Hamiti specifically told us about the problem of this point.

“If you see for yourself, point 7 is being interpreted as autonomy for Serbs, meaning with more potential competence than association, according to the Kosovo Constitutional Court's decision, Which Kurt and his Vetevendosje were made up that they would never accept. They have made their cause violent; remember their violence in the Kosovo Assembly. Add here the special status for the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo”, Hamiti said.

It remains all unclear how the European Plan's implementation plan will move forward in what is called Anex, or implementation plan.

But for Balkan expert, Mr. Bodo Weber, it is clear that the parties have agreed to the agreement and in an interview for The REL yesterday, he specifically spoke that the implementation of all agreements reached so far between Kosovo and Serbia is also in place.

After what Prime Minister Kurti said, there was an agreement. This agreement also includes reference for the implementation of all previous agreed agreements, and this includes the April 2013 Association agreement and the 2015 Agreement on Association”, said Weber in the REL interview.

Escobar: Discussions for Association should start immediately

The United States envoy for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, has said that the Association of Serb majority municipalities is a must to be implemented.

This request is submitted to the Brussels agreement. There are expectations that will be formed. Our position is to form in a way that represents victory for both sides”, Escobar said in a virtual conversation with journalists on February 28th.

Asked whether Kosovo has deadlines for forming association, Escobar has said the question is how soon it will be formed.

“I don't want to set deadlines, but I mean the discussion should start immediately”, said Mr. Escobar. /Periscope
