Hiding details about candidacy for UNESCO (Danas)

The Presidency of Kosovo did not respond to the question sent by the journalist of this newspaper on whether the request for the membership in UNESCO was signed by President Jahjaga.

Kosovo FM Thaci also avoided answering to this question, raised by some MPs, at yesterday’s session in the Kosovo Parliament. Thaci briefly told MPs that the candidacy was "made in accordance with the laws and the Constitution of Kosovo." He also avoided saying whether the application for the UNESCO was submitted by UNMIK.

Political analyst Dusan Janjic recalled that Pristina is cooperating with UNESCO through UNMIK since 2001, which does not exclude the possibility that this mission handed over application for Kosovo’s membership. According to unofficial information of Danas, UNMIK confirmed to the official Belgrade, that the UN mission is mediator in the process of Kosovo’s candidacy.
