Kurti wrote on Facebook that he believes that Brussels and the European Special Representative Lajcak will deal much more with the President of Serbia, Vucic, who stole the elections in Serbia with the help of Dodik, Mandic and Radojicic (especially in Belgrade) and who withdrew from the Basic Agreement of February 27, 2023 (through the letter of Prime Minister Ana Bernabiq), instead of putting public pressure with options that turn democratic and pro-European Kosovo into a problematic issue.
Normalization of Relations towards 2024
1) The absolute priority for the Government of the Republic of Kosovo is security for Kosovo, the territorial integrity of the state and the life and well-being of citizens without distinction.2) The conclusions of the investigations into the terrorist and criminal attack of September 24 in Banjska of Zveçan, when Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku was killed, must be made public immediately. Millan Radojicic and the members of his paramilitary group must be handed over to the Kosovo authorities.
3) I hope that the European Union and the USA will impose sanctions on Serbia, especially its President Aleksandar Vucic, for the hostile and aggressive behavior and actions towards Kosovo, for the escalation in the north of our country, and for renouncing the Basic Agreement (through the letter of the Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Bernabiq, dated December 14).
4) My request is that the punitive measures of the EU and the USA towards Kosovo be removed, and that our country be given the status of a candidate country for the EU and the Partnership for Peace with NATO. This is exactly how our Western partners would strongly ask Serbia to implement the obligation of de facto recognition of Kosovo.5) I was told that Serbia should also accept the draft statute of the Association (therefore, since the Ohrid meeting, I offered to write it on three principles, an offer that was rejected by Vucic). According to the last statement of the European Special Representative Miroslav Lajcak, since the draft statute is only an internal issue of Kosovo, in the next year, I can write a modern European draft in consultation with my ministers Nenad Rashiq (Community and Return) and Elbert Krasniqi (Local Government Administration).
6) The Basic Agreement (with the Implementation Annex) for the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia could be signed at the European Council Summit held on March 21 and 22, 2024.
7) I believe that Brussels and also the European Special Representative Lajcak will deal much more with the President of Serbia Vucic who stole the elections in Serbia with the help of Dodik, Mandic, and Radojicic (especially in Belgrade) and who withdrew from the Basic Agreement of February 27, 2023 (through the letter of Prime Minister Ana Bernabiq), instead of putting public pressure on us with options that turn democratic and pro-European Kosovo into a problematic topic.
