Platform on Kosovo will be presented to the government till Friday (Vecernje Novosti)
In coming days, President Tomislav Nikolic should send the draft platform on Kosovo to Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, and according to our information it will happen before his departure to Moscow. After discussion in the government, possibly amended platform will be sent to the Assembly for the further approval. However, it is questionable if platform will receive the support of opposition.
The Chief of caucus of Democratic Party and former negotiator for Kosovo, Borislav Stefanovic, expects that President and government will present only de facto situation on the ground, which will mean preparation for the change of Constitution.” We had tens of plans and platforms for Kosovo which were not worth, because they were far away from the reality. That’s why the new document should go one step ahead of the expectations related to the Kosovo issue. Democratic party will express its opinion about the platform when it will be presented,” said Stefanovic.
Former minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic said that his Socialist Democratic Party is ready to work on this new act, but he is sceptical that something major could be done since current government partially accepted Kosovo independence. “Our red line should be Kosovo north, but since north was integrated in Kosovo system, it seems that it is too late for the initiatives.
Member of the parliamentary board for Kosovo Zvonimir Stevic from the Socialist Party believes that it would be of crucial importance if the current authority would unite with the opposition, without misusing the issue for gaining political points.
