Two years have passed since the Agreement on normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia was reached. However, not all the points of this Agreement, which was signed on 19 April 2013 in Brussels, have been implemented. The opposition parties consider this agreement harmful for Kosovo.
Vetëvendosje Movement chairmanship member, Zgjim Hyseni, said that this Agreement should be invalidated.
On the other hand, AAK caucus leader Donika Kadaj-Bujupi sees the former Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi as the directly responsible person for negotiating and signing this Agreement.
According to her, Thaçi did not manage to use negotiations to strengthen Kosovo’s statehood and to facilitate the EU integration process.
Deputy foreign minister of Kosovo, Petrit Selimi, said that Belgrade is impeding achievement of key objectives of the Agreement.
Belgrade officials say that Serbian side has met all its obligations, while it remains on Prishtinë/Pristina to fulfil six out of 15 points of the Agreement, one of the first being the Association of Kosovo Serb Municipalities.

According to him, if Thaçi would visit Belgrade as the capacity of Kosovo foreign minister than Serbian government’s police on Kosovo would be breached.
