Based on reliable sources, Lajmi.net reports that the Assembly session for ratification of the Agreement for border demarcation with Montenegro, will be held on 9 March. “The European Union and the United States of America are requesting urgent ratification of the demarcation, because Kosovo has stagnated on the Euro-integration processes, concretely on visa liberalization,” the source said.
The prefix of Kosovo +383 can be used from today, and it will save millions to Kosovo and Vala operator. “The today’s day is only the beginning of the implementation of the new prefix, while we can tell you that by the end of the year, the +381 prefix for Kosovo telecom will not exist. With the new prefix, all illegal operators will vanish,” said the director of Kosovo Telecom, Agron Mustafa. “We have decided today to launch the state prefix which will be used for landline and mobile services. From today, we have the possibility to replace it step by step.
The second round of the high level discussions between Kosovo and Serbia will be held on Wednesday.
The leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, said during his speech at Colmar Court, prior to the decision for his release on bail, that Serbia’s accusations are political.
“These accusations come from Serbia, they are simply political. What you are doing here, is abuse of the human rights,” Haradinaj said to the judges in French.
Kosovo’s Minister for Dialogue, Edita Tahiri, said for Radio Free Europe that “Serbia does not have any role on establishment of the Association for Serb-majority Municipalities.” According to her, Serbian representatives do not have the authority to deal with the issue. “It is not up to Serbia to impose dates or make pressure,” she said.
After the several-months boycott on participation at the works of the Kosovo Assembly, Serbian List might return tomorrow at the Assembly.
Sources of lajmi.net within the PDK-LDK –Serbian List coalition, said that the decision comes after the recent developments within the Serbian List and possibility to endorse the decree for the establishment of the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities very soon.
Head of the Parliamentary Group of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Pal Lekaj, said that Kosovo has returned to a situation that resembles an administered and not governed state.
He added that Kosovo has returned to the time of the provisional self-governing institutions. “Kosovo institutions are behaving as if nothing is in their hands when decisions which strengthen state integrity and sovereignty are concerned,” Lekaj said.
Kosovo Assembly MP from the Vetëvendosje movement, Glauk Konjufca, said that the Brussels agreement makes Kosovo only a user of a telephone code and not an owner. According to him, it is clear that Serbia will be the owner of the prefix, while Kosovo will only use it. “Legalization of Serbian operator in Kosovo does not appear to be as the government claims, and this makes the agreement unacceptable,” Konjufca said.
Deputy Leader of the Vetëvendosje movement, and Kosovo Assembly MP, Aida Dërguti, wrote on her Facebook timeline that justice for Astrit Dehari does not end by enlightening the circumstances of his death. “Justice will prevail when false accusations for terrorism are clarified. Keeping innocent people in prison is the most serious crime that a state can commit. Arben and Mon shook UNMIK’s grounds with their death, Astrit will shake the grounds of this regime,” Dërguti wrote.
Head of the European Union Office in Pristina, Nataliya Apostolova said firmly during a press conference today that combating of crime and corruption are conditions for liberalisation of visas.
She said that progress has been made on this direction, however, she also mentioned the condition of the demarcation of the border with Montenegro, saying that there will be no visas without conclusion of this issue.
