Hoti: Kurti is typical fraud, agreement with Serbia is not favourable for Kosovo

In an interview for Kosovo Press, he says he doesn't know where Prime Minister Albin Kurti has been thinking about or was in any great trouble when agreed without mutual recognition to accept the formation of association, provide arrangements of the self-government of the Serb community and grant special status to the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo.

According to him, agreeing to reach agreement with Serbia on the basis of the EU plan on February 27th in Brussels testifies that Prime Minister Kurti is a typical fraud, Klankosova broadcasts.tv.

The disturbing “is the fact that the process that Kosovo has now been forced to accept an agreement that is not a favourable aspect. It has been forced to accept an agreement, where we have taken the very long path of consolidating Kosovo's citizenship and mutual recognition. It is not seen in the perspective when the issue with Serbia will end. The issues we have open with Serbia are closed only when mutual recognition occurs. Dialogue has been structured, co-ordinated among the parties, and with the support of international partners for mutual recognition in the past government. Now it degrades and we're at a deal that's technical, even in those technical elements there are fundamental problems. Past governments have been criticised when technical agreements have been reached in the dialogue process, which have been temporary arrangements in normalising the two countries' relations that they have not recognised each other. So temporary arrangements, and now they've entered the arrangements to stay there for years. These things are not for tomorrow, but will follow the people of Kosovo for the coming years”, he says.

Former Prime Minister Hoti cites several provisions of the agreement, which according to him are harmful to the country. Among them, he says it is a disaster only to discuss the issue of the status of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo. Meanwhile, it also puts the terms at Article seven of the agreement on self-enamination of the Serb community in the country, which according to him goes beyond the 2013 Association Agreement and the principles in 2015.

These subx0> without mutual recognition agree to implement the Association Agreement, which in the way it is written in the agreement is sure to go beyond the 2013 agreement and the 2015 principle agreement. They agree to grant special status to the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo. They are eligible to discuss the administration's self-government community in Kosovo. I don't know if they thought about it when they agreed on these things, or what kind of hard they had to accept this” deal, Hoti points out.

Speaking to Association, Hoti says agreeing to implement all past agreements testifies to how much “fraud” is Prime Minister Kurti. He also cites yesterday's report of Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi to the European Parliament's Foreign Policy Committee, where, among other things, he referred to a letter that former EU foreign policy chief Federica Moghrini has addressed former Prime Minister Mustafa that association will not have executive competency.

YOU see these are typical frauds. All their political lives have been deceived. Violence has been exercised within the Parliament, institutions and in the streets of Pristina, against this agreement. It has been declared the traitor Isa Mustafa, the prime ministers in the most diverse case. And they will be called to that which they have concluded on that Day. He was fooled by two-three weeks ago by those six conditions of association. As we have told you at the session, they can show themselves, the electorate and the General Council when they hold them on Sunday. But not international partners, mediators, as it is not communicated with ultimatums with international partners”, says Hoti.

Meanwhile, in terms of recognition of defacto, the former prime minister says it has been spent long ago, and it was now most important to know de-jure from Serbia.

Serbia's “Recognition defacto of the state of Kosovo has had since the first agreements, 2013, when agreements between the two states were signed. When the 2015 agreement was signed by Prime Minister Isa Mustafa, only the point in that agreement, which states that the Constitutional Court's statute before it is decreed by the Government, takes the opinion of the Constitutional Court, what that implies. Also, the agreement on establishing Pristina-Belgrade liaison offices is this recognition defacto. It is not good for the current prime minister to tell stories to people about recognition de-facto, since we have been through the weather”, he adds.

On the other hand, he says Prime Minister Kurti also forgot principles from the past, when he acknowledged that at the point of two in the pre-multiple agreement the past be exceeded, even though Serbia has still apologised and has paid for the reward for the damages of war.

“At the second point of the prembula is said to have overcome the past and forgotten it, while this (Curt) has blinded our eyes by saying that it is necessary to seek forgiveness, reward for the damages of war, the dead and others, while now in preambles the parties agree to go beyond the past and look to the future”, Hoti concludes.

On Monday, Prime Minister Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq met in Brussels to discuss the European proposal. Although the dialogue mediator, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, said the parties have agreed in principle on this proposal, there was no signature.

He said he was willing to sign the plan, but that this was not Vuciqi, meanwhile, Borrell stressed that the parties have indicated ready to discuss the implementation of the plan as well, until he warned another meeting in March.
