“If we look at the original version of the Agreement on the Association/Community of Serb majority municipalities (A/CSM), which would be considered as the relevant one in case of any dispute,  it provides that the A/CSM will have a constituent assembly, which stipulates implicitly that it could act out of the constitutional and legal framework of Kosovo and could have, in the end, its own constitution,” said former president of the Kosovo Constitutional Court, Enver Hasani in a TV show ‘Slobodno srpski’ (Talk free in Serbian).

Hasani went on to say that there is another disputable wording in the Agreement, the one that provides that A/CSM would defend interests of Serbs in front of central institutions, which prompts question who will defend interest of other communities who live in municipalities that would form the A/CSM. “Does that mean that an Albanian can never be, for example, vice-president of that community,” asked Hasani, and added that legal and political mechanisms should be created which would integrate entire population in order that no one would feel as a second ranked resident.

Hasani also reflected on the opposition protests which is blocking the work of Kosovo parliament for months now, and said that these protests have nothing to do either with the Agreement on A/CSM or the demarcation with Montenegro, instead the real reason behind it is the issue of the special war crimes court. “Problem lays in it that the court has been agreed through a bargaining of leaders of political parties that came out of the conflict,” explained Hasani, and stressed that ‘there was no open debate, three or four years ago about it in public, where expert’s, political and other opinions could be heard and what would make it easier to be accepted.”  Hasani added that the court for Kosovo Liberation Army crimes now presents international obligation of Kosovo which has to be fulfilled.
