The Democratic Party of Kosovo reacted today after Prime Minister Albin Kurti's meeting with the European Union's representative for dialogue, Peter Sorensen, and statements regarding the implementation of the Law on Foreigners and additional measures.
PDK, through a press release, has expressed deep concern about Prime Minister Albin Kurti's recent compromises, through which the sovereignty of the Republic of Kosovo is being directly violated.
"With his recent decisions, Kurti has made two serious concessions: he has allowed the functioning of illegal Serbian institutions within the territory of Kosovo and he has legitimized the documents that Serbia illegally issues to Kosovo citizens. By accepting them, he has made illegal Serbian structures participants in the implementation of the legislation of the state of Kosovo.
These decisions show that Prime Minister Kurti has conducted negotiations away from the attention of public opinion, in a complete lack of transparency and at a time when the next institutional crisis was being staged, with which he and the ruling party are damaging the functionality of the Republic of Kosovo.
"For years, Kurti has been declaring that parallel structures of Serbia no longer exist in Kosovo, while with his decisions he is publicly acknowledging their existence and creating conditions for their continued functioning," the PDK response states.
This party further emphasizes that ironically, just a few weeks ago in Davos, Kurti declared to the world that parallel structures no longer exist.
"While now, through his political compromise, he is giving them a new legitimacy. These concessions are a continuation of the dangerous logic of the Brussels Agreement and the Ohrid Annex, accepted by Kurti without transparency and without institutional debate, which are already producing concrete consequences on the ground to the detriment of Kosovo's state interest.
"The laws of the Republic of Kosovo must be implemented fully and equally for everyone, while any illegal structure operating outside the state system must be closed," the reaction states.
The Democratic Party of Kosovo calls on the Kurti Government to immediately stop, as they say, "the harmful policies that are producing institutional confusion and strengthening Serbia's narrative towards Kosovo." /Telegraph/
