Government of Kosovo insists it will not delay resubmitting border demarcation deal (RTK)
Kosovo Government officials insist that there will be no delays in resubmitting the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro to the Assembly. The ratification process will also require the votes of the MPs from the Serbian List which is at present boycotting Kosovo institutions. The bill requires at least 80 votes in favour to be passed and the ruling coalition faces the prospect of having 11 votes less from the members of the Serbian List. This means that the ruling coalition currently can only muster 73 votes in favour. Despite this, the government is hopeful that the Serbian List will reflect and decide to rejoin the institutions. Prime Minister Isa Mustafa’s advisor, Faton Abdullahu, told Radio Kosova that there will be no “unjustified” delays and the agreement will be submitted when the coalition partners consider that the conditions are right to do so. At the same time, Serbian List leader Slavko Simic said that the decision whether to return to the Kosovo institutions will be taken in consultations with the Government of Serbia..
