Hoti: Thaci’s involvement in dialogue with Serbia is against Assembly resolution (Klan Kosova)
Head of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) parliamentary group, Avdullah Hoti, said that the confusion regarding the dialogue for normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia is only deepening further. He said that in the absence of a new Kosovo Assembly resolution on who should lead the process, the applicable rules remain those outlined in the most recent resolution from 2011 and 2012. According to these, government of Kosovo is authorized to be in charge of the dialogue. “Any other dialogue format is in conflict to these resolutions and, as a result, any agreement reached is unacceptable. In this light, involvement of the President in the process of dialogue is in violation to the decision of country’s highest institution,” Hoti said. He added that he considers very likely that the issue of the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities will be discussed in the Pristina-Belgrade dialogue in Brussels. Hoti said the work on the draft statute for the Association/Community needs to be based in Pristina not elsewhere. “Moving the issue to Brussels risks leading to additional concessions,” he warned.
