Democratic Party of Kosovo MP Hisen Berisha says that he understands the request of the US Ambassador Jeffrey Hovenier that the European plan should be accepted in order to reach a solution within the dialogue, but he also notes that the ambassador should understand their concern because they believe that the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, violated the constitutional order of Kosovo by accepting the European plan.

Berisha explains that the European plan contains points, such as in Article 7, that are dangerous for Kosovo.

"We cannot trust the prime minister, who violated every principle he proclaimed when he came to power. We cannot trust a prime minister who is not transparent in negotiations. We cannot trust a prime minister who has been stopping any positive development of the country for two years. That is why we are worried and distrustful of him. I think that even international diplomats should be more correct in their communication with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). We have not spilled a single glass of water in the Assembly of Kosovo," Berisha says for Gazeta Blic.

Berisha reminds that Albin Kurti came to power with the slogan "The Community will not pass."

The member of the PDK points out that Kosovo does not need Miroslav Lajcak's CSM models.

"Kosovo does not need Lajcak's models to join and fulfill minority rights. Kosovo has its own model for adjusting the rights of minorities within the framework of the Constitution and current laws. Just as it is in the Washington Agreement. Kosovo has a model within its own democratic and European Constitution, which it generates from Ahtisaari's plan, for how it can join. In Kosovo, there is a functional association, if necessary a "model", which was created and accepted in the spirit of the principles of Western EU democracy. If Lajcak thinks that what Ahtisaari's plan and the Constitution of Kosovo offer is "inadequate", then the problem is the principles of the EU. The tendency to adapt the European models chosen by Lajcak is the tendency to camouflage the betrayal of the country's territorial integrity and political sovereignty," Berisha says.

He adds that the Franco-German Community Plan was negotiated between the EU and Serbia.

"While the Franco-German plan and "community" agreed upon between the EU and Serbia, where the EU is the arbiter in case of any disagreement, is a betrayal committed by the collaborationist coalition with Serbia. This was achieved by rejecting the objections of the Constitutional Court by the "CSM"; this was achieved by rejecting the Washington Agreement, where freedoms, rights, religious freedoms, and the status of cult objects are considered protected within the framework of the legal infrastructure and the Constitution of Kosovo; this was achieved by reformatting the dialogue and rendering some of the reached agreements unconstitutional; this was achieved by removing the "CSM" from the series of 39 Kosovo-Serbian agreements, of a technical and political nature in Brussels, as a conditional obligation as a "community" in the license plate agreement as point three," he emphasizes.

Berisha adds that PDK and LDK are ready to implement the agreement signed and voted on in the assembly, as proposed by the Constitutional Court.

"PDK and LDK have signed and voted in the assembly on an international agreement and are ready to implement that agreement point by point according to the suggestions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo. Enough is enough," Berisha concluded.
