Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, in an interview with the Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency, said that Serbia’s aggressive campaign against Kosovo’s membership in international organizations, in which Kosovo was compared with ISIS, will undoubtedly adversely affect the continuation of the EU-brokered dialogue. “Serbia’s aggressive campaign against Kosovo in UNESCO is an obstacle to continuation of the dialogue. There are several problems that must be solved through dialogue but Serbia is misusing this dialogue by trying to turn other countries against Kosovo in UNESCO, invoking that we need to solve this problem in Brussels,” Mustafa said.
In regards to opposition’s request for withdrawal from the agreements on Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities and border demarcation with Montenegro, Mustafa said the main arbiter in this matter is the Constitutional Court and that neither the government nor the opposition can decide on the matter. Asked if there are any plans for the return of the opposition in the Assembly if the Constitutional Court considers that the agreements are in accordance with the Constitution, Mustafa said the opposition should return to Assembly because no one has the right to violently obstruct the work of the Assembly. “If the Constitutional Court considers that the agreement is in harmony with the Constitution, we will continue further and will open the opportunity to draft the statute of the Association which will again be sent to the Constitutional Court. If the court says it is not in harmony, we will not apply it,” explained Mustafa, who also ruled out the possibility for extraordinary elections.
