(2 years ago)The bilateral meetings in Brussels on Wednesday ended without trilateral meetings, as warned. Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti imposed three conditions, while Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, insisted again on the point of hot, association. German Ambassador Jorn Rohde yesterday stated that it is not useful to charge dialogue, the Signal newspaper reports. Rohde said [...]
Rohde said Kosovo should engage in trust and not show the other side and the mediator what to think and what to do.
And that also increases the frustration rate on the mediator's side; because we need actors who show a minimum level of will to compromise. ” He told them about Nacional.
Germany's ambassador also spoke of Association and a statement saying he was surprised that Kurti was surprised that the association was a condition for the KiE.
We've made it very clear that we have to move (to Association). Because this also underscores Kosovo's commitment to minority rights. Because it's an obligation. We're talking here about the obligation ratified by the Kosovo Assembly by 2015. Governments have moved towards it; and when you want to become a member of an organisation such as the KiE; which in particular is engaged in minority rights, that is important. And, again, governments decide by 2/3 of the votes; and Germany has only one vote, and you have 10 non-recognitions in the KiE. So it's a challenge to get these votes, and, in order for your friends to vote for you, but even skeptical countries, you have to do your homework. And the association hasn't been made. ”
