Kurti: As prime minister, I do not establish associations, I offered to write the draft statute, but I was rejected
The prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has said that he cannot establish associations as prime minister of the country. According to him, this is a duty of the municipalities, which must be associated with each other.
However, Kurti made it known that he offered to draw up the draft statute of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority in Ohrid, North Macedonia, when Kosovo and Serbia had agreed on the annex to the implementation of the Brussels Basic Agreement in 2023, but that was rejected by the European Union, as a dialogue mediator.
He added that it would be an imposition on the municipalities if there was any association established by the government.
The establishment of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority is among the main demands of international partners towards Kosovo, as part of the implementation of agreements between Kosovo and Serbia for the normalization of relations.
Commenting on the adoption of a draft law in Serbia on Serbian judicial jurisdiction in Kosovo, Kurti said that this is a hostile and aggressive action towards constitutionality, legality, peace and security in Kosovo.
He considered it necessary for progress in the dialogue to sign the Brussels Basic Agreement, reached between Kosovo and Serbia in 2023.
In addition, he reiterated the need to withdraw the letter of former Serbian Prime Minister Ana Bërnabiq from Brussels, as well as handing over to Kosovo the person responsible for the terrorist attack in Banjska, the main criminal, Milan Radojicic.
He was also asked about his position in the presidential elections in the United States of America.
Kurti said that he is a democrat and ready for cooperation with everyone.
He even gave an interesting answer when asked what his cooperation with the Trump administration might be like if he wins the election.
As for the punitive measures of the European Union against Kosovo, Kurti said that Kosovo had no fault for the escalation of the situation there last year, and it had a constructive approach to the organization of local elections there, but which were boycotted by the Serbian community. /KosovaPress/
