The British Ambassador to Kosovo, Ruairi O’Connell, said on Tuesday that the process of border demarcation between Kosovo and Montengro is a bilateral issue. “Kosovo is a sovereign country; you decide for yourselves. But I strongly believe that your decision should be taken according to the facts,” O’Connell said. He also praised the idea of the demarcation debate which is being held today in Pristina. “It is a good idea to hold a public discussion today, so that deputies and citizens can be informed about the detail, and reality, of the process. I welcome the initiative. A well-informed citizenry and empowered Parliament is the foundation of democracy. Kosovo’s decision on the border will say a lot, about Kosovo’s faith in its friends; about the role of facts in Kosovo’s political debate and decision-making; and about Kosovo’s relationship with a neighbour who recognised your independence when it was difficult to do so. It is an important decision. And one you have to take for yourselves,” he added.
