Escobar has declared that progress has been made towards forming this mechanism for Kosovo Serbs in recent months.
In an interview for Voice of AmericaEscobar has claimed to have observed an extraordinary evolution in the Kosovo government's stance, and in particular Prime Minister Albin Kurti, to accept implementation of Association.
“First of all, to be very direct, we have seen an extraordinary evolution in the Kosovo government's stance and in particular the prime minister's, to accept this legal obligation. It is an existing obligation under the Brussels agreement, and it was very difficult for this government and party to accept it as mandatory”, Escobar has said.
According to Ecobar, there is now only to determine the frames and parameters of association.
“But now they are considering it as an obligation, have agreed to it and have publicly said what the frames and parameters of association should be. And we agree with these” parameters, he stressed.
Escobar has declared that at the meeting of two leaders Albin Kurti and Aleksandar Vuciq at the beginning of May, it would like to see a concrete Kosovo plan for association.
