Several news websites report that the Kosovo Assembly Presidency has postponed its meeting due to lack of quorum on decision-making. “Due to the lack of quorum on decision-making, we are postponing the meeting of the Assembly Presidency for another day, because some of our colleagues are not in the country,” Assembly President Kadri Veseli is quoted as saying.
Enver Robelli writes today in his opinion piece that Hashim Thaci’s and his dependents’ concerns, are not Kosovo’s concerns, therefore Pristina should coordinate with NATO, the U.S. and the EU with regards to the creation of the army.
Kosovo Assembly presidency has unanimously decided to submit the draft law on Kosovo Security Force (KSF) transformation to the Government. Kosovo Assembly President Kadri Veseli said he expects the government to forward the bill to the Assembly as quickly as possible. “Every step we undertook in the last 18 years has been in partnership with international community,” Veseli said after the meeting of the Assembly presidency. He called on the Serbian List to return to Kosovo institutions “where they belong.” “We have tried to reach political consensus for three years.
President of the Kosovo Assembly, Kadri Veseli, told Kosovo Security Force (KSF) cadets at the “Adem Jashari” barracks today that he called for a meeting to discuss Kosovo entering an important process of KSF transformation into an army. “You have created the possibility of Kosovo facing a historic decision,” Veseli told the cadets. He said a Kosovo army would serve all citizens and work on good relations with all neighbours.
In a meeting with Kosovo Assembly President Kadri Veseli today, President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci officially presented the draft law for transformation of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) into an armed force.
President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci said postponing decision on Haradinaj’s release is “an injustice on so many fronts.” He said international justice continues to be influenced by Serb politics. Kosovo Assembly President, Kadri Veseli, called for an end to Serbia’s arrest warrants against Kosovo Liberation Army fighters. He said the court’s decision to postpone was “unacceptable.”
President of the Kosovo Assembly, Kadri Veseli, told reporters that the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro needs to be passed as soon as possible. “The moment the government resubmits agreement for ratification of demarcation, we will immediately forward it to the Assembly,” Veseli said after the meeting of the Assembly presidency. Veseli announced that the next sessions of the Assembly have been scheduled for Monday and Thursday.
Kosovo Assembly President, Kadri Veseli, has welcomed President Hashim Thaci’s initiative to establish the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. At the first consultative meeting, Veseli said Kosovo’s institutions are proving their readiness to shed light on the past, face its truths and help heal the wounds of the past. “Our people paid a very high price for freedom and independence. The wounds were deep and unfortunately they have not healed yet. Years go by and we still don’t know about the fate of thousands of Kosovo citizens.
Kosovo Assembly President, Kadri Veseli, said today in Pristina that the Kosovo Army will be formed very soon. “The decision-making process in the Assembly for the transformation is not as important as it is to have a range of investments in the Armed Forces, to provide the necessary arms and this is possible only through cooperation with the international community. We will make every institutional action in partnership. I have discussed this in the Pentagon too, the Army of Kosovo is reality that will be realized very soon,” he said.
The European Union High Representative in Pristina, Natalia Apostolova, stressed the importance of the nomination of the Minister for European Integration.
