Political commentators in Pristina believe now is the high time for Kosovo’s political parties to reach an agreement on how the country will be represented in the new round of talks with Serbia. Jeta Krasniqi from the Pristina-based Kosovo Democratic Institute said Sunday’s meeting between Kosovo and Serbia Presidents, Hashim Thaci and Aleksandar Vucic, discussed only the overall framework of the agreement that is expected to be reached. She told the news website that no details were disclosed from the meeting and that Kosovo should not go to talks without “a joint platform”. “A platform adopted by the Assembly is needed for Kosovo’s position in these talks. The Assembly, through an extraordinary session, should give the mandate to the leader of the new process of talks Kosovo – Serbia … The President and the Prime Minister should summon political parties as soon as possible, they should talk and agree on the future course of action,” Krasniqi said. Belul Beqaj, political analyst, argues that the European Union, with its actions, is proving that it does not stand behind its principles in their attempt to secure a binding agreement. “On the one hand, they are against politicians that have indictments or are suspected of criminal acts, whereas on the other hand they support Hashim Thaci who is the key suspect in Dick Marty’s report … This bring not only him [Thaci] but all of Kosovo in an inferior position … The President does not have a mandate from the Assembly, although he has the constitutional right to represent the country in these talks,” he said. Beqaj further argued that Serbia is trying to secure territorial autonomy for Serbs in Kosovo. “This could hurt Kosovo’s stability even if the country gets to join the United Nations,” he added.
