The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Donika Gërvalla, has asked the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Council of Europe to include the membership of Kosovo in the agenda, after the letter in which the government pledges to compile and send a draft statute for the establishment of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority.
Deputy Prime Minister Gërvalla, at a press conference on Thursday, said that this draft document would fulfill Kosovo’s international obligations, as well as fully respect the Constitution and laws of Kosovo.
According to her, regardless of how this offer of the Kosovar side will be accepted, the process will continue for the drafting of the Association and its submission to the Constitutional Court.
According to Gërvalla, this commitment letter is not late because if they considered it as such, they would have sent it earlier.
Asked if this letter of commitment was made in coordination with the QUNIT countries, the deputy minister of MFAD (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora), Kreshnik Ahmeti, said that the letter of commitment was sent through official channels to the Council of Europe, where all the QUINT countries are members.
He said that if at tomorrow’s meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the Council of Europe there is no readiness to include the membership of Kosovo in the agenda, the same can set a next date when such a thing can be done.
Meanwhile, Minister Gërvalla underlined that depending on how Kosovo’s offer to the Association will be accepted, it will be decided on the next steps for pushing this initiative forward.
