The Kosovo government is relying on the votes of the Serbian List or one part of the opposition to ratify the draft law on the border demarcation with Montenegro. Bajram Gecaj, advisor to Prime Minister Isa Mustafa, told the news website today that even if all MPs of the ruling coalition would vote in favor of demarcation, their votes would not suffice. “We currently don’t have enough votes to ratify demarcation. The votes of PDK and LDK MPs do not suffice to ratify the deal. We need to secure the votes of the Serbian List or one part of the opposition otherwise we won’t be able to ratify the deal,” he said. Gecaj, who is also Deputy Minister for Local Government, said the government would not resubmit the deal to the Assembly without securing the required 80 votes. “There is no sense in submitting something to the Assembly knowing that it won’t be ratified. We will work on securing the votes and we will do everything in our power to ratify demarcation as soon as possible”. Gecaj also said the government wants the deal to be ratified in December. “Some EU member states will go to elections and then it [visa liberalisation for Kosovo] could be a problem. December is the last deadline not to lose hope for visa liberalisation. If visa liberalisation is left for next year, we will face problems,” Gecaj added.
