Kosovo urges clarification EU for silence over Serbia's violations

The government led by Albin Kurti has publicly asked the European Union for silence over violations of the basic agreement from Serbia.

The establishment of the group from Belgrade to undermine Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe, the Kosovo executive considers it a violation of the letter, but also the spirit of the agreement.

The government has told Dukagjin that the EU should show why it is not playing the arbitrator role between the parties.

The European Union's resumption to play the referee's role in the agreement we agreed on in the European Union capital, just under the European Union's mediation, is best to clarify and reason the European Union. In our internal communications with the mediator, we have raised concerns about Serbia's actions and international silence towards these” actions, said Progress Kryeziu, the government's spokesman.

On the other hand, the executive is convinced that Serbia will not be able to stop Kosovo's membership in the KiE.

The response to television further states that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora is continuing with intense commitment to ensuring support for successful voting on 16 April at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

But yesterday's EU reluctance to establish that Serbia is violating the basic agreement is also being criticised by connoisseurs of the dialogue process.

His non-recognition is a part of hypocrisy, but in the last instance it is a signal that they consider Kosovo guilty of developments and therefore do not want to relate Kosovo's responsibilities in relation to the difficulties manifested in dialogue”, said Milazim Krasniqi, university professor.

Krasniqi estimates the dialogue has failed and that sanctions should have been imposed on Serbia.

And of a voice is analyst Artan Mujazir.

“S at least a rebuke, a public criticism should have been made to Serbia, not to pass this action, and this mobilization of President Vuciq in silence because it is a direct violation of commitments made in Ohrid, very badly but should not be forgotten that Kosovo and Serbia have separate roads towards the EU<1>, said Artan Mujajri, political analyst.

Article 4 of the basic agreement reached last year says Serbia will not oppose Kosovo's membership in any international organisation.

On Friday, EU spokesman Peter Stano has not responded directly to the journalists' question whether Serbia is violating the agreement with the establishment of a team to undermine Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe.

Stano reiterated that both sides would face “serious consequences” on the integration path towards the EU unless they implement it, but did not speak particularly of Serbia. /Dukagini
