A remarkable meeting of the Committee at the ambassadorial level met today with the insistence of the individual states of Quintus.
The reason for this haste regarding Kosovo's application for membership is probably because the Parliamentary Assembly session of the Council of Europe ( PPSSE ) begins on April 24th, so the goal is to postpone the entire procedure so that the issue can be brought before MPs, who later decide whether to submit the application to the next step to the CoE Committee of Ministers at the ministerial level, which meets in Reykjavik on 16 May and 17 May.
Germany and Italy have insisted that the issue of Kosovo's accession to SE to “has been closed since this week, but Iceland's ambassador, the country's chairman from the CoE Committee of Ministers, has managed to resist those pressures.
After these pressures failed, there were reports from diplomatic sources Germany would expect 2 May and a high-level political meeting in Brussels between Serbian President Alexander Vulufi Foreli and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and that a shift could be made towards the formation of the Serbian Communists Association before Kosovo's accession to the EC is raised.
