Kosovo Assembly Vice President Xhavit Haliti said that Pristina and Belgrade would not be asked much about the agreement on normalizing relations between Kosovo and Serbia.

He told Pristina based KTV that a legally binding agreement would be reached this year, and only thanks to the high pressure of Western diplomacy, reports KIM radio.

Kosovo Assembly MPs elected Kadri Veseli with 62 votes for, 52 against and no abstentions, for the President of the Assembly of Kosovo. This is Veseli’s second mandate as president of the legislative.

MPs also elected deputy presidents of the Assembly: Xhavit Haliti from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Aida Derguti from Vetevendosje Movement and Kujtim Shala from the Democratic league of Kosovo (LDK) and Alternativa coalition.

Senior official from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Xhavit Haliti, said PAN coalition has the 61 votes necessary for forming the new government. “To form a government is not a big problem. There are some other issues regarding the functioning of the government after its formation”, Haliti is quoted. He said that the initiative of President Hashim Thaci to meet political leaders before setting the date for Assembly’s constitutive session is part of his constitutional duties.

Kosovo Assembly Vice President from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Xhavit Haliti, said that the government would decide on when to submit the border demarcation agreement to the Assembly for ratification.

Deputy President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Xhavit Haliti, said that ‘we as MPs called on the Serbian List to return.”

“This is the Parliament of Kosovo and they are its members, they should be defending the rights of the citizens who voted them,” Haliti said after the meeting of the Assembly presidency, where the leader of the Serbian List, Slavko Simic, was also present.

Deputy President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Xhavit Haliti, considers that the request of the leaders of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) to enlighten the fate of the killed after the war is rightful; however, he added that this should not be used for the electoral campaign.

Deputy President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Xhavit Haliti, said that the border between Kosovo and Montenegro was predetermined and Kosovo institutions cannot move it despite the major objections of the opposition parties and civil society.

Deputy president of the Assembly of Kosovo and member of the leadership of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Xhavit Haliti, supports the proposal of the PM Isa Mustafa to measure the territory of Kosovo. “I proposed territorial measuring from the beginning, when the current version was objected. It is good to measure the territory and see if we have lost territory or not. Montenegro is claiming that its territory has increased and based on the report of the state commission, Kosovo’s territory has increased as well.

 Xhavit Haliti, MP from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), proposed for the next meeting of the Commission for European Integrations to invite the Government Commission for the border demarcation with Montenegro in order to be informed on the manner that this commission functioned.
