Kosovo’s Deputy Minister for Local Government, Bajram Gecaj, said in an interview for the news website that December is the final time for ratifying the border demarcation agreement between Kosovo and Montenegro. “In 2017, many EU member states will go to elections and the attention on Kosovo could be lost. This is why December is the final time when we can do something about this issue,” he said. Asked if the ruling coalition has secured the required number of votes in Parliament to ratify the border deal, Gecaj said, “we still don’t have 80 votes. When we have the votes we will send it to Parliament. If the opposition would change its mind or if the Serbian List would eventually return to Parliament, the situation could change. We must admit that there is opposition to the deal even among MPs from the ruling coalition”.
