The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) said in a press release that the least that Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa had to do today ahead of the Assembly session was to dismiss the Kosovo Government commission on border demarcation with Montenegro and launch investigations into its actions.

Ardian Gjini, deputy leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), in an interview for the news site, said the opposition bloc is determined not to allow the normal functioning of the Kosovo Assembly until the Government withdraws its signatures from the agreement on the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities and the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro. “The opposition is confident that these two agreements are highly detrimental to Kosovo and should not be implemented,” he said.

The President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Kadri Veseli, has addressed opposition deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo through a public letter:

“Honorable deputies of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo from  Vetevendosje Movement, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and the Initiative for Kosovo,

UNESCO did not approve at today’s General Conference voting Kosovo’s membership in the organization. Kosovo’s application received 92 out of the required 95 votes while 50 countries opposed the motion. Kosovo’s Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci wrote on his Facebook account that despite the vote result, the vast majority of countries did vote in favour of Kosovo’s membership. “Kosovo’s path is unstoppable and we will apply and gain membership in other organisations as well, including UNESCO,” said Thaci.

Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) Donika-Kadaj Bujupi said after today’s session of the Kosovo Assembly that opposition parties will continue their actions “until the withdrawal of signatures from the agreements that are damaging for Kosovo”. “We will use all means to object these agreements,” she said.

Adriatik Kelmendi considers that the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), should immediately start working on regaining trust, after failing to vote ratification of the Stabilization Association Agreement. He says that it is regrettable that these two parties and Vetevendosje Movement ruined the 25 year old Albanian consensus on this matter. “Was the SAA with Kosovo the best? No! Could it be negotiated better? Perhaps! Should it be approved? Absolutely, definitively YES,” writes Kelmendi.

Klan Kosova has published parts of the interview with Kosovo’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hashim Thaci, which will be aired tonight at 21:00 hours. Speaking about the former leader of Vetevendosje movement, Albin Kurti, Thaci said that it is well known that he has always had an anti-Kosovar and anti-international agenda. According to Thaci, Ramush Haradinaj and Fatmir Limaj are acting as “Albin Kurit’s close protection.”

Daniel Serwer, former U.S. diplomat and expert for Balkan issues, analyzed in an interview for Gazeta Express, the recent developments in Kosovo and the blockade of the Parliament by opposition parties. He stressed that with its behavior, opposition is risking to face harsh state measures and lose support in polls. Serwer said that without winning the elections, the opposition cannot make decisions for Kosovo. He however adds that if opposition had the power, they would not request breach of Brussels agreements.

Leaders of the opposition parties ended their meeting with the President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, where they reiterated their positions that they would not set back or sit around the same table with the government, if the latter does not  withdraw signatures from the agreements for the Association/Community of Serb majority municipalities and demarcation of the border with Montenegro.

In an urgent meeting called today, the steering council of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) unanimously decided to mobilize its membership and supporters for an anti-government protest. AAK said political agreements signed by Prime Minister Isa Mustafa turn Kosovo into a dysfunctional country and it is therefore necessary to prevent their implementation. The party’s steering council authorized AAK leadership to coordinate future actions with other opposition parties, including the civil society.
