Kosovo's application for membership in KiE outside the agenda at May 13th-14th meeting

In the agenda published on the Council of Europe's official page for the meeting of the Committee of Ministers to be held in Luxembourg on 13 May and 14 May, Kosovo's application for membership in this institution does not figure.

However, as television “N1” reports, Kosovo can be introduced to the agenda of “other”.

Conditions for the further prosecution of Kosovo's application for membership in the Council of Europe have been the solution to property disputes with the Decani Monastery and the foundation of the Serb Majority Commission Association. Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti had already agreed to implement the Constitutional Decision on Monastery Lands.

Kosovo's top diplomat, now in his resignation, had tried last year to convince the states of the KiE to support Kosovo, pledging by a letter that Kosovo will write Asocicon's Draft and send it to Constitution.

“In this direction, the Government of Kosovo is preparing a draft station for the Association of Serb Majority Communities (in the context of prior obligations at net 7 and 10), inspired by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, which will be handed over to the Constitutional Court for Review by the end of May 2024”, wrote in the letter of the Kosovo top diplomat in May 2024.

Kosovo has applied to join the Council of Europe in May 2022. In March 2023, the Council of Europe decided to submit this request to the European Union's Parliamentary Assembly for thought. In April last year, the Parliamentary Assembly supported Kosovo's admission to the Council of Europe and invited the Committee of Ministers to make that decision.

The Committee of Ministers is the executive body of the Council of Europe, which consists of foreign affairs ministers and meets once a year.

The decision is a two-thirds majority of ministers attending the meeting. /Periscope/
