The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, received the EU’s special emissary for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajçak, with whom she discussed the Brussels process.
The head of state asked the European diplomat to lift the sanctions against Kosovo, which she described as unfair.
“President Osmani emphasized the need to lift the European Union measures against Kosovo, which are unfair and create a lack of balance in the dialogue. In this regard, she stated that Kosovo has offered the organization of new elections in the north of the country in accordance with Kosovo’s legal framework through the approval of the administrative instruction, potentiating her expectations that this right of the citizens is implemented without delay and in compliance with the procedures and legislation in force”, it was said in the announcement of the Presidency.
At the first meeting of the state, she also spoke about the draft statute of the Association of Municipalities with a Serbian Majority.
She has expressed her concern about some provisions of the Association, which, according to her, can be challenging during implementation in practice.
“As far as the draft of the Association’s statute is concerned, Madam President reiterated that the only institution that can conclusively interpret the conformity of this act with the Constitution is the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, and also expressed her concerns regarding certain provisions of this draft, which may prove as challenging in its implementation in practice”, it was said in the announcement of the Presidency.
