Diplomat Arifi: Kosovo north is all about Vetevendosje in these elections

After a long meeting with Prime Minister Kurti, O'Brien delivered clear messages regarding dialogue, American reports with Kosovo, Association and other topics.

And these messages, former chief negotiator for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Avni Arifi has considered them extremely important.

He, in a proposal for Periscope, has said O'Brien reaffirmed the support the US has towards Kosovo.

“Mesaze diplomatic top from one of the most senior diplomats in the current American administration. He voiced once again the pledge of American support to the state of Kosovo and cited Kosovo's obligations. Clearly, the focus is to connect the growth fund with implementation of the Ohrid Agreement”, he said.

Despite warnings the US conveyed yesterday, Arifi says Kurt and his government will take no step ahead of elections on February 9th.

According to him, Kosovo's north is the hope Kurt's party has in this election.

Kosovo's “government is aware of this, but no action will be taken before February 9th, despite the cost this may have to Kosovo. Kosovo's north is all about the VV in these elections. Each step in implementing the Ohrid Agreement dims the current situation in relation to the VV rhetoric for the North, so nothing will happen”, Arifi said of Periscope.

Otherwise, O'Brien said dialogue is extending, and that Kosovo should take advantage of the case.

We wanted both countries and all countries in the region to move as fast as possible. We want borders to stay open so that societies can work together in exporting goods, goods and for people to work and live in another country. We want the country to take advantage of this opportunity because sometimes you have an opportunity and if you don't want to use it, you won't have it for a long time”, O'Brien said.

This is a unique moment, because we have all those transitions going on. The European Union will have a new commissioner, so new staff, who will oversee the process of integration into the European Union and in the US, we have elections, we know we will also have a” transition there, O'Brien said at Politicalno on Kanal 10.

US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia James O'Brien has said that Kosovo should submit the Association of Serb majority municipalities to Constitution.

“Sending association to Constitutional is the basic commitment. We do not expect it only from Prime Minister Kurti, but there have been several previous prime ministers who have done it, so we expect it from Kosovo”, O'Brien said. /Periscopi
