PDK Vice President Vlora Citaku has indicated the reasons why the party she belongs to is rejecting such an agreement.
The “Dialogue what is today with EU mediation started at the time The PDK has led Kosovo government. Our opposition to the agreement does not concern the implementation of agreements signed earlier, we are concerned about what this agreement lacks. We cannot behave in 2023 and be counted fulfilled in this year by recycling and renotering agreements made a decade earlier”, Citaku said.
Citaku added that this agreement is not central to mutual recognition.
We can call it even a deal because there's no signature, there's a deal. For one thing, it is neither final nor comprehensive and lacks mutual recognition at the centre. This agreement is characterized by what is called constructive durability in diplomacy, which is useful to stop wars, but to build lasting peace the agreement must have clarity”, the PDK's deputy chairman said.
The former Kosovo ambassador to the US added that we cannot expect our allies and friends to be more persistent, more serious and ambitious on the issue of agreement and dialogue than we are.
Citaku criticised Prime Minister Albin Kurti for his approach to the dialogue process, saying this agreement or agreement is the result of his arrogant approach.
This agreement, such as what is not drawn from heaven, is the product of the negotiation and approach of Prime Minister Kurti in dialogue for two years now. I remind you here of the time when the prime minister said dialogue is not a priority at all, or 7 or 12. Instead of seriously handling the dialogue and the prime minister going with his own offer to our allies, the prime minister chose to open “ront” for the license plates. I was in the United States in November of last year, and we had a lot of energy to clarify Kosovo's position on license plates, because it's pointless for someone to call for war for such a thing, while what the prime minister would have to do was knock in Washington, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Rome and London and with allies to agree to a better deal...”, Citaku said.
She stressed that the disaster is that we will spend decades and years in a process of dialogue, while we have had a favourable context to complete once and for all.
We have come to this agreement as a result of Prime Minister Kurti's irresponsible and adventure approach. Prime Minister Kurti's approach in relation to allies and dialogue has been characterised by arrogance and lack of consistency. Instead of encouraging energy to reach a final agreement, the first thing the prime minister has done has been to aim to reopen any agreements signed earlier, and what he concluded by not changing points or expectations. It's been spent a lot of time on the part of the prime minister to prove that everything was done badly earlier”, Citaku said of the Telegraph.
PDK deputy chairman added that there are many dilemmas and that we do not know exactly what Kurti has negotiated.
This agreement, whether we liked it or not, will be a document for which Kosovo will assume responsibility and account regardless of who will be in Government. I wish this deal would be better because of generations to come. Our fear is legitimate we fear we will enter an endless cycle of dialogue”, she said.
Citaku added that the problem between Kosovo and Serbia is neither economic nor commercial, but the problem is radically and deeply political, and only a final agreement with mutual recognition in the centre would solve this problem.
Speaking of Serbia's approach and its behaviour in the dialogue process, Citaku said Serbia continues to be the same since the Rambouillet conference until today.
Serbia's “Wayway and bipolar access to foreign policy, that they have consistently held one leg in Brussels and the other in Moscow, is not Serbia's new position. The long-standing EU has tolerated Serbia's destructive behaviour in the report not only with Kosovo, but with all countries in the region”, Citaku said.
