Former Ambassador Peci points to three issues the new government will face

Institute Director K IPRED, Lulzim Peci, has indicated issues facing the new Kosovo government.

He has suggested that each government will face the urgent need to address three fundamental issues, which directly affect the strategic orientation and the future of Kosovo.

In his account in “Facebook”, Peci wrote that these issues are Association, stabilisation of the situation in the north, and normalisation of reports with allies, broadcast Periscope.

“Every Kosovo government to be formed as a result of the February 9th elections will face the urgent need to address three fundamental issues, which directly affect our country's strategic orientation and future. First, sending the draft session draft of the Serb-run municipalities to the Constitutional Court should happen without delay. This is a document that, in practice, is very unlikely to be renegotiated. Any attempt to reopen it, under current circumstances, risks resulting in a more unfavourable version of Kosovo. This step is essential to enable Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe a strategic goal for strengthening the international subjectivity of our state, and its consequentisation as an unconventional European state”, Peci has gone.

He has further shown urgency to two other issues.

“second, normalising the situation in the north is necessary to enable the removal of European Union punitive measures towards Kosovo. Beyond practical benefits, this action would be a clear signal of our institutions' commitment to stability, integration and fair treatment of the Serb community in our country. It must be remembered that most Western countries have recognised Kosovo's independence over the multiethnic promise. A tense or frozen situation, with potential for conflict, seriously undermines the country's strategic interests. Thirdly, rebuilding confidence and a joint agenda with key Western states with special emphasis with Quint countries represents a necessary precondition for advancing towards a final agreement with Serbia, which should include Kosovo's exclusive recognition as a sovereign state and equal in the international community”, Peci has written.
