The Kosovo government has annulled its decision made on May 13 whereby Petrit Selimi, Deputy Foreign Minister, was appointed as national coordinator of the Millennium Challenges Corporation. Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, said today that the government received complaints from the Anti-Corruption Agency that Selimi cannot hold both the post of Deputy Foreign Minister and MCC coordinator. Principal Deputy Prime Minister, Hajredin Kuçi, said today that the government will recruit a civil staff to the post of MCC national coordinator.

Two weeks prior to the inter-party debate, between the coalition-government and opposition regarding on the border demarcation agreement between Kosovo and Montenegro, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), as leader of the government, has already started with preparations for this debate.

Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, met today in Pristina with the US expert on the Balkans, Daniel Serwer. Mustafa and Serwer discussed the current developments in Kosovo and the region. Mustafa said Kosovo has achieved progress in economic development, European integration and in strengthening the rule of law. “The government of Kosovo remains focused on advancing the European agenda, visa liberalization and transforming the Kosovo Security Forces into Armed Forces,” Mustafa was quoted as saying.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, replied on his Facebook page to the accusations of the former Assembly President, Jakup Krasniqi, presented today in an opinion piece published in the media, regarding the Agreement on demarcation of the border with Montenegro.

The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), has reacted through a press release to the statement of the Prime Minister of Kosovo Isa Mustafa, who claimed that establishment of the Kosovo Armed Force (KAF), is conditioned with the ratification of the Agreement for demarcation of the border with Montenegro.

The press release requests from the government of Kosovo not to link up its failed situations.

Several media report that Kosovo Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, has welcomed the news that the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee has adopted the proposal for visa-free travel for Kosovo’s citizens. Mustafa wrote on his Facebook account: “Today we received very good news from the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, where the recommendation for visa-free travel for the people of Kosovo was adopted with a majority vote.

Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, after the central meeting of the Summit of Leaders in Paris on Tuesday said that there will be no integration in the European Union without fulfilling all the criteria set by the EU. “Kosovo MPs, in accordance with the work of the state commission and the clear position of the U.S. State Department, should address the issue of border-demarcation with Montenegro as soon as possible.

After Isa Mustafa’s statement on his Facebook page that Vetevendosje could cause incidents with a NATO country, Montenegro, and that Kosovo is losing its chance to travel without visas, Vetevendosje spokesperson, Frashër Krasniqi said that the danger for further tensioning of the relations between Kosovo and Montenegro comes due to the loss of 8000 hectares of Kosovo’s land. “But to Isa Mustafa, the territory and sovereignty of the Republic is not important, therefore he makes such absurd statements.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, wrote on his Facebook page about demarcation, noting that the process is in order and that this obligation should be fulfilled, because it endangers liberalization of visas.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, condemned terrorist attacks at the Istanbul Airport stressing that Kosovo is shocked by the news. He expressed his condolences to the Turkish population and Government.

The President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, wrote on his consoling letter that terrorist attacks at the Istanbul Airport are unacceptable and strongly condemned. “Nothing can justify use of violence and taking of lives of the innocent people.” Thaci wrote.
