Kosovo outside the agenda of the Committee of Ministers, former Ambassador Cana: Diplomatic feature, Kurti give you the answer

“Kosovo is not currently in the meeting agenda of the Committee of Ministers”-So was an announcement yesterday for Kosovo by the Council of Europe. Annie why expectations by the Government of Kosovo were positive that the issue of Kosovo's membership would be part of the Committee of Ministers' meeting seems to have made it difficult for France and Germany that Kosovo should once submit to Constitutional Association, writes Periscopi.
All this former Kosovo ambassador to Bulgaria, Edon Cana, sees as “debike diplomatic”.
The Cana in a proposal for Periscope talking about the issue of Kosovo's membership in the KiE blamed Government because Kosovo did not settle on the agenda of the Committee of Ministers.
“Since the publication of Dora Bakoyannis's report either by ignorance or deliberately to deceive the people it was known that association or moving towards association would be a prerequisite for placing Kosovo in the Government Committee of Ministers in terms of Kosovo membership in the KiE... and that message was clearly sent to them last week by its French ambassador. Based on his statements, he diplomaticly said the issue of Kosovo's membership in the KiE would not be settled. This means a diplomatic debach, a carefreeness by indicted people even as a result of this indictment and deliberate manipulation of the populist character about how the inter-competitive community will act in relation to the agenda of ministers in relation to addressing the Kosovo membership point ChiE”, Cana said.
The former ambassador warns that this will weaken the state of Kosovo, and for that responsibility, I must give Prime Minister Kurti along with his team.
This will internationally weaken the state of Kosovo, and for this the entire team and the prime minister who have dealt with the issue must give responsibility by weakening Kosovo's position and making it impossible for Kosovo to apply for a near future because the moment will be lost as lost for visa liberalisation. In February and Albanian, this is a diplomatic debach towards weakening the state of Kosovo”, Cana told Periscope.
Kurti message from France and Germany: We don't accept conditioning KiE membership with Association
The country's Prime Minister Albin Kurti has held a meeting today, as the issue of Kosovo for membership in the KiE did not enter the agenda of the Committee of Ministers.
Kurti expressed surprise by Germany and France, which a condition for CoE membership was set for Kosovo.
The government does not accept the conditioning of KiE membership with Association. The normalisation of relations with Serbia is not in Strasbourg. Article 7 of the basic agreement even in connection with Article 10 cannot be taken out of agreement, cannot be placed in the center of it either as an emergency matter”, Kurti said.
We remember that Kosovo applied to join this organisation nearly two years ago on 12 May, 2022.
On March 27th this year, the Council of Europe's Committee for Policy and Democracy approved the rapporteur's report for Kosovo, Bakoyanis, which said the country has met the conditions for becoming a full-fledged member of the organisation, while the association considered it an internal issue of Kosovo.
Then, on April 16th, the Baconyanis report also went to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, while the final decision will be made by the Committee of Ministers, exactly one month later.
Made up of 46 member states, 27 of them members of the European Union, the Council of Europe is the continent's main human rights organisation.
Serbia announced late that it has established a working group to undermine Kosovo's membership in this organisation.
This, despite the agreement it has with Kosovo, not to oppose its membership in international organisations.
