German MP from the Social-Democratic Party Josip Juratovic called the result of Kosovo elections a victory for democracy. He told Deutsche Welle on the eve of his visit to Serbia and Kosovo that “eventual change of the government should be considered as a new dynamic in the democratic development of Kosovo. However, the result, especially for Vetevendosje Movement and Albin Kurti is a duty and responsibility to actively implement democratic values of the party and the country. He should reach out to Serb community of the country in order to calm the tensions down. Here, the new government should return to the dialogue, in order to establish stability and above all, normality for Kosovo population. This dialogue should open way to both parties to a peaceful future with mutual respect and recognition,” he said.
Juratovic, together with parliamentary commission for foreign policy, are currently in a four-day visit to Belgrade. The group is led by MP from the Green Party Ottmar von Holtz. Parliamentarians from all political parties are part of this delegation.
They will be informed from close with the possibilities of the resumption of the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, and about what the international community can do to help the process.
As German Bundestag informed, the delegation will be visiting Belgrade, Mitrovica and Pristina, to meet representatives of the EU, OSCE, KFOR and EULEX, representatives of the NGOs, inspect reconciliation projects in the field as well as discuss with representatives of youth and activists of peace.
