Mustafa: Association bill is dangerous, political autonomy

Former Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa said the current draft association state is not only the Association, but also the political and territorial autonomy of Kosovo.

The “was actually attached to or named to Association to those who wrote it in order to connect it to a document it used to be. But this draft is not even in harmony with the first agreement, in 2015 I'm speaking that it's nowhere to figure in this draft”, Mustafa said, at RTV21.

He described this as dangerous and not having any in common with the 2013 agreement.

“I think it's something new, something dangerous for Kosovo, and at least it's association, because the statute is built under the Ohrid Agreement, which at the 7th point envisions a form of self-awareness of Serbs as a community in Kosovo. Therefore, we are self-aware that we have had components in 2013, in the agreement ratified by the Parliament, we do not have a single mention of the isolation of one Kosovo community, Mustafa said.

He said there has been a document for association that at the time he was prime minister helped draw up Enver Hasani.

We have had a document that then helped me professron Enver Hasani, because I asked the professor to contribute how now these suggestions can be transformed into a statute. And he worked out all these things. We had a draft that we kept for ourselves so that when we sat down to draft the statute to be brought in so that the statute which we send to the Constitution is not in opposition to”, he said.

He said that in 2015 he did not sign any formal agreements as a government with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucinq. According to him, it was just putting initials at the bottom of the pages, which, as Mustafa said, does not imply official signing.

“Sʹka then means signed agreements as a government, there were only initials at the bottom of the pages in order to prove that those pages were initiated by parties. It's been signed as the signature of the deal. The signing of the agreement would be when, at the start of an agreement, it would be said that the Government of the Republic of Kosovo in charge of the prime minister, the Government of Serbia with this prime minister on the basis of dialogue held in Brussels with the European Union's mediation of so far as they reached agreement on the issue and ultimately were the signatures of the two prime ministers. We have my initials of Federica Moghrin and Alkesanddar Vucinqi, but we don't have the text that that agreement is the agreement of two governments just as international agreements are made. So in vain say Prime Minister Kurti demonstrated in front of the Parliament's deputies or acted on it that you as well as you did, I do also “, Mustafa said.
