Ramadan: The more KFOR and EULEX, the less sovereignty

Through a post in his official profile on the social network Facebook, Ramadani has indicated that the more KFOR and EULEX are present in our country, the less sovereignty exists.

According to Ramadani, every time Kosovo institutions have been consolidated and empowered, KFOR troops have been reduced, while, EULEX also had restructured itself by remaining in a symbolic number of Mentomy, Monitoring and Counseling (MMA), but that according to him is now happening.

Whenever we rejoice that NATO has brought more troops to Kosovo (as a need to repel the threats of Serbia or paramilitary groups), we should also remind ourselves that this implies more decision-making and implementation capacity for KFOR. Thus, KFOR's decision-making and implementation remain outside our public institutions -- that is, as a mandate derived from KS Resolution 1244. The UN. Therefore, it is less sovereignty for the state of Kosovo and not only in the north, but in the entire territory of Kosovo. Because, KFOR's mandate is not divided into specific regions in Kosovo, but includes the same entire territory. Consequently, the rise and reinvigoration of KFOR is the reduction of Kosovo's sovereignty in total. And not to talk about EULEX that should never be reinvigorated. Even EULEX has had to remain with only 2-3 employees in total”, Ramadani has written among other things.

Ramadan's full response, without interference:

The more KFOR and EULEX, the less sovereignty

“Pension” KFOR would be achieved in Kosovo, not increasing the number and restoring the implementation of their power on the ground.

The growth, empowerment, democratisation and consolidation of Kosovo's public institutions and security would have to result in the reduction of KFOR troops, and with their own reduction in KFOR's exercise of competencies under KFOR Resolution 1244 The UN.

These competencies have been recognised on Kosovo state institutions even with our Constitution, Article 153.

This has been a continuous process. So Kosovo institutions have been consolidated and empowered, while KFOR troops have been reduced. While EULEX had also restructured itself by remaining in a symbolic number of Mentomy, Monitoring and Counseling (MMA).

But the opposite is happening now.

Remember:

The more KFOR and EULEX, the less sovereignty.

We would need to witness the restructuring of KFOR within this time.

We would have to take over KFOR powers for the Kosovo Police at this time and why not the KSF.

• I remember when in 2019 we promoted the idea of KSF taking over the preservation of FilmCity (Central KFOR) in Pristina.

• I remember when in 2019 we promoted the idea that KSF would take over the preservation of the Decani Monastery, as a transitary phase, to follow it to the competence of the Kosovo Police.

These normal initiatives had to take time, but now five years later the situation deteriorated in this dimension.

Whenever we rejoice that NATO has brought more troops to Kosovo (as a need to repel the threats of Serbia or paramilitary groups), we should also remind ourselves that this implies more decision-making and implementation capacity for KFOR.

Thus, KFOR's decision-making and implementation remain outside our public institutions -- that is, as a mandate derived from KS Resolution 1244. The UN.

Therefore, it is less sovereignty for the state of Kosovo and not only in the north, but in the entire territory of Kosovo. Because, KFOR's mandate is not divided into specific regions in Kosovo, but includes the same entire territory.

Consequently, the rise and reinvigoration of KFOR is the reduction of Kosovo's sovereignty in total.

And not to talk about EULEX that should never be reinvigorated. Even EULEX has had to remain with only 2-3 employees in total.

So, instead of reaching together with NATO to make Kosovo a state where KFOR does not have The PPS) (Property/Persons with the Desigation of Special Status) appears to be adding to the PDSS list spaces or other objects.

P. S

• PDSS means Special Status Determine Property/Personal.

In these cases, military Action Rules are cut, clear, compromised and include fire opening, using all military means to protect, respectively PPS.

Thus, the Decani Monastery is an illustration.
