The news site reports that Vetevendosje MP Albin Kurti, who was arrested by Kosovo Police on Saturday, has sent a second letter from the High-Security Prison. In his letter Kurti argues that the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities is the next and decisive stage of ruining the state of Kosovo. “The Association is a natural result of the Kosovo Government’s approach. What is the value of Kosovo’s independence if it will be followed by a model similar to that of Bosnia? This government must be stopped. The normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia is nothing but adjustment and permission. Kosovo’s adjusting to Serbia’s presence within its territory, and both Kosovo and Serbia adjusting to the European Union. Kosovo is adjusting to Serbia’s parallel structures, to the division of Mitrovica along the River Iber, and to Serbia’s position that Serbs in Kosovo cannot be a national minority … The European Union has truly confirmed the European perspective at the Thessaloniki Summit in 2003. However, we shouldn’t be taking Brussels’ promises for the Western Balkans more seriously than they do. The EU has its own problems. Serbia depends greatly on Kosovo as far as EU integration and membership is concerned. We cannot leave Serbia outside the EU, but when it joins the EU before us, Serbia will keep Kosovo outside … We are constantly told that we are weak and fragile as a state and this is the reason why we have the Quint, Zbogar, KFOR and EULEX. However, this is not making us stronger. On the contrary, it is only confirming our powerlessness. International stakeholders in and around Kosovo prefer stability in Kosovo over justice, democracy and development. They view justice, democracy and development as dangerous enterprises. To make matters worse, this stability in Kosovo is in the service of a short-term stability in the region … The united opposition is faced with a non-democratic government and with a regime that has captured the state … Righteousness is on our side. Serbia’s Association and giving away land to Montenegro cannot and will not pass. Serbia has not changed and neither should we and we don’t have land to give away to others. The battles of the coming weeks and months will determine the fate of future generations”.
