Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has said he has acknowledged the founding of the Serb Majority Commission as part of the Brussels/Ohri Agreement, arguing that the establishment of this mechanism has been inherited by his predecessors.
The Association of Serb Majority Communists is something I inherited from my ancestors. However, this is part of the Basic Agreement now. Article 7 says Serbia's community must have only seamigium, Kurti said in an interview for media Al Jazeera which has published a documentary discussing the construction of the state of Kosovo.
“I am not denying it, however, only as part of a package of normalising relations between Serbia and Kosovo with mutual recognition. You cannot choose from 39 preliminary agreements, one that is your favorite, as if it were a Swedish ass, where you choose your favorite food or put it before the Bazic Agreement. As a package, I said yes to”, added.
In this interview, he has also been asked about the government's relations, which leads him with local Serbs, while stressing that he is not only prime minister of “Albanians”, indicating that 62 per cent more budget has been divided from the central level for Serb majority municipalities.
Serbian “Gjuha is an official language throughout Kosovo, at each level of administration, and out of 38 municipalities, ten of them are majority Serbs. We have allocated 62 per cent more budgets from the central level to Serb majority municipalities. We have this positive discrimination, so to speak, affirmive action for Serbs in Kosovo in order to integrate them”, the head of the Government of Kosovo began to point.
While a new round of negotiations will be held in Brussels on Tuesday (now, 17 September) between Kosovo and Serbia's chief negotiators Besnik Bislimi and Petar Petkovic, while European Union Special Emissar (BE) for the Pristina-Belgrade dialogue Miroslav Lajcak aims to achieve progress in implementing the agreement reached in Ohrid more than a year ago.
EU Foreign Policy and Security spokesman Peter Stano, who, at a press conference Monday, has announced that the parties will discuss the way towards implementing agreements reached within the framework of dialogue on normalising relations under EU auspices.
The “Agent is clear: the road ahead in implementing the Ohrid Agreement and of course discussions on issues that are affecting normalisation between Kosovo and Serbia. The road ahead for both sides is to confirm constructive engagement in the normalisation process. The first case for this is the meeting of chief negotiators in Brussels on 17 September”, he has declared.
However, it is not yet clear whether the chief negotiators will hold trilateral meetings, or only separately. Kosovo's deputy prime minister has recently declared that Serbia has rejected the joint meeting: “Kosovo has accepted the trilateral meeting under the agenda appointed by the mediator. Serbia has refused such a meeting, trying to impose the” agenda./AP
