Kurti: The draft for the Association also foresees the evaluation of the

Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, said on Friday that the proposal of the Western envoys for the Association envisages that the Constitutional Court gives an assessment of the constitutionality and is written with care to the letter and the constitutional structure of the country.

He made these comments a day after he showed in Brussels his readiness to sign the project offered by Western diplomacy for the establishment of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority.

"From the meeting on October 21st, the American and European emissaries told us that the draft for single-parenting that they brought was carefully written with respect to the letter and structure of the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Kosovo, and that if it were to be signed there, it was foreseen that the Court would check it "Constitutional right away, so the Constitutional Court gives its assessment of the constitutionality of this proposal as an answer," he said.

He said that Kosovo will respect the request of the diplomats not to talk about the details of the project, which he offered to sign yesterday during the meeting with the leaders of the European Union.

"We offered in front of them as witnesses and as guarantors to sign the basic agreement of Brussels of February 27, with all the implementing annexes of Ohrid of March 18 and the proposal to implement Article 7 of the agreement in relation to Article 10. So for the idea of ??the single transformed into self-proposal. The signature would mean acceptance and therefore also implementation, but acceptance means signature, and only the signature means acceptance and guarantee of implementation", he said.

Prime Minister Kurti said that now is the time for Serbia to be held responsible for the terrorist and criminal attack on Kosovo as well as for the refusal to sign the agreements.

"They always insist on sending side letters, additional letters which practically attack both officially and formally the basic agreement and the implementing annex. Last night we found out that the president of Serbia threatened and fulfilled these threats with these letters which say three things. Serbia recognizes Kosovo's independence, is against Kosovo's membership in the UN and does not accept Kosovo's territorial integrity, this third is an addition because we have heard the first two before. Such an irresponsible statement that the territorial integrity of Kosovo is unattainable is clearly a tendency to attack Kosovo", said Mr. Kurti.

Opposition parties in Kosovo showed different positions on Friday regarding Prime Minister Albin Kurti's readiness to sign the project for the establishment of the Association of Serb-majority municipalities.

The Democratic League and the Democratic Party of Kosovo criticized the government for lack of transparency in relation to the latest documents presented by the international factor.

"Late last night he came out and said that I have accepted the draft for the Association's statute, I am not judging whether it is good or bad because I do not know, I have not seen it, I am only judging the political movement of the Prime Minister from absolute rejection and bringing the country's sanctions and punishments at a cost even with the loss of life of the people of this country, with such an easy acceptance. What happened? Should this country and this Assembly be informed?", said Arben Gashi, deputy of the Democratic League of Kosovo.

"Furthermore, citizens, civil society, the public, even we MPs have not seen what Prime Minister Kurti has accepted. What is the accepted draft? What is matter? So why so much lack of transparency? Who is the prime minister hiding from, from the citizens of Kosovo? So what is the message of all these recent developments. Every time Serbia attacks Kosovo, Kosovo has to come up with something. He attacked us on September 24 and on October 26, Albin Kurti accepted a draft of the Association", said deputy Blerta Deliu Kodra from the Democratic Party of Kosovo.

The Chairman of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj said that last night Kosovo has taken a big step by accepting the implementation of the proposal of Western diplomats.

"In this case, he has put Kosovo in the right position at this time after many mistakes and after a long time lost in dialogue. According to my beliefs, with yesterday's developments, the EU should remove the sanctions against Kosovo immediately, so the government of Kosovo, the Prime Minister of Kosovo has taken an obligation, expressed readiness to implement the document brought by the five and did not express any objections to the document , has expressed other demands, with this I believe that the EU should immediately remove the sanctions, so it is pointless to continue with sanctions", said Mr. Haradinaj.

On October 21, the American and European envoys delivered to the parties a document on the implementation of the agreement, part of which was also, as officials in Brussels said, "a contemporary European proposal for the statute of the Association of Municipalities with a Serbian majority", which is also the most difficult point in the Kosovo-Serbia negotiation process./ Voa
