Bajram Hasani, member of the leadership of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) has objected the agreement for the new telephone prefix for Kosovo. Hasani said a third party, in this case Austria, should not be applying at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for Kosovo’s prefix. “NISMA is against this agreement knowing that it is conditioned with application of a third state, in this case Austria, to apply for this code, which means that Kosovo would only be a user while Serbia would be the owner. Knowing the importance of the telephone code, we request from our delegation to be persistent on Serbia’s giving up blockade of Kosovo’s membership with full competencies at ITU,” Hasani said.
“Kosovo could have a code such as the one that is being agreed upon now, seven or ten years ago. A regional code mediated by Albania,” he concluded.
