Vetevendosje MP, Donika Kadaj-Bujupi, said in an interview for TV Dukagjini that, the Kosovo government is “trying to smuggle in the Assembly two anti-constitutional agreements that it signed in Brussels”. Kadaj-Bujupi said her party would engage in a powerful and uncompromising resistance in the Assembly in order to prevent the border-demarcation agreement with Montenegro and the agreement on the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities. “Our opposition will be even stronger than in the last eight months.

Ahmet Isufi, senior member of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), told TV Dukagjini the government of Kosovo is using violence against opposition and “this is the best indicator that the government is falling.” “We will use all democratic methods to prevent the Assembly sessions. We have teargas until the annulment of recent agreements with Serbia and Montenegro. Preventing the MPs to vote these two agreements that undermine the state of Kosovo, I consider it a patriotic act,” Isufi added.

In an interview for TV Dukagjini, Kosovo’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Petrit Selimi said Kosovo’s biggest battle at this point is membership of the UNESCO. Selimi said Kosovo will need 2/3 of votes at the UNESCO General Assembly, which means that even countries that have not recognized Kosovo’s independence would have to vote in favor. He added that Serbia was waging an aggressive and negative against Kosovo and that it is comparing the 2004 riots in Kosovo with ISIS. Selimi said that the eventual non-admission in the UNESCO would be disappointing for Kosovo, but not a failure.

Vetevendosje MP Rexhep Selimi said in an interview with TV Dukagjini today that, at the Kosovo Assembly session on Thursday, the opposition will continue its protest against the formation of the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities. “Even in earlier sessions [of the Assembly] it was decided to continue with the sessions, but we were adamant to prevent this until the signatures on the Association are withdrawn. We are determined to continue our protests until the Association is stopped,” he said.

The Vetevendosje Movement, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) have reached a principle agreement on a joint election list and have agreed to block the institutional life until Kosovo goes to early parliamentary elections. Unnamed sources told TV Dukagjini that the opposition wants elections to be held in late October or early November. The same sources said that the agreement led to the AAK and NISMA joining the Vetevendosje action of throwing eggs at Prime Minister Mustafa at the Assembly today.

Kosovo’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, Petrit Selimi, said in an interview for TV Dukagjini, that according to information of the Kosovar diplomacy, the Stabilization/Association Agreement (SAA) between the European Union and Kosovo will be signed in October. Selimi said he is fully confident that this year Kosovo will be an official candidate for membership in the Council of Europe. Selimi added that this year Kosovo was recognized by three countries. “These are sovereign states. The Kosovar diplomacy has had diverse priorities.

Kosovo’s Interior Minister, Skender Hyseni, told TV Dukagjini that in case that there would be violence in the future protests in Kosovo, the law very clearly describes how to react when the rule of law is violated and public and private property is damaged. He said that the government doesn’t perceive as security threats the announcements of some parliamentary groups regarding future protests. According to him, no individual can challenge and threaten the state.
