Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa told members of the Kosovo Assembly today that circumstances are not right to vote on the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro. “As Prime Minister, I believe that today the circumstances are not right to vote on the demarcation with Montenegro … The government has withdrawn the draft law from the agenda. We will try to reach a joint position on the law. We believe it is not appropriate to discuss this draft law at this point and we don’t want to make concessions about the draft law. We will further discuss it and submit it to the Assembly at the time we find appropriate,” the Prime Minister said. Mustafa also said that the postponement of the vote does not imply that the government is backing down from the agreement or that the agreement will be renegotiated. Pristina-based news website Kosovapress reports that the government withdrew the law because of conditions presented by the Serbian List. All media reported today that Serbian List MPs decided not to attend the assembly session thus making it impossible for the ruling coalition to secure the required number of votes to ratify the border deal.
