The VV MP, at the same time the chairperson of the parliamentary committee for foreign affairs, Arbëreshë Kryeziu-Hyseni, tells KosovaPress that Kosovo should not remain hostage to political processes, therefore the Committee of Ministers of Foreign Affairs should vote on Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe.
According to her, the Committee of Ministers should not contradict the decision of the Parliamentary Assembly.
She emphasizes that any kind of attempt to delay the process of Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe and the imposition of any additional conditions would be unfair.However, the chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs, underlines that the Kosovar diplomacy is actively working with the member states of the Council of Europe to secure the necessary votes for membership in this organization.
In addition, she asks the QUNIT countries that instead of asking Kosovo to establish the Association as a condition for membership in the Council of Europe, they react to Serbia for lobbying against Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe. On March 27 of this year, the Committee for Politics and Democracy of the Council of Europe approved the report of the rapporteur for Kosovo, Dora Bakoyannis, where it is recommended that the country has fulfilled the conditions to become a full member of the Council of Europe.Kosovo has applied for membership in the Council of Europe in May 2022.
