Kurti: Dialogue is not among my top three priorities; I don't like everything about the Franco-German proposal

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that the dialogue with Serbia was not among his priorities, Reporteri reports.

Kurti pointed out that he had a deputy who dealt with European integration, development, and dialogue.

"Dialogue with Serbia is not in the top three priorities, I also have a deputy who deals with the European integration, development, and dialogue. The scope of the work I do as well as my advocacy is not what is seen on television, it may seem that it is only a dialogue, but it is not like that," Kurti says.

He adds that Kosovo wants a final, real agreement, with mutual recognition at the center.

"We need an agreement that is legally binding according to the Vienna Convention. We indeed opposed the dialogue, only because of what it was," he added.

During the interpellation in the Assembly of Kosovo, he said that he considered the Franco-German proposal to be a good basis for discussion, but that he did not like everything in it.

"I consider the EU proposal with the support of France, Germany, and the US a good basis for discussion, but it has not been accepted or allowed. I don't like everything about that proposal, there is a lot that needs to be discussed. What I have never accepted during this process with Serbia, out of the 33 agreements adopted in Brussels, is the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities. Any other proposal is not as important as the CSM," Kurti said.

He pointed out that it was difficult for him to talk to the opposition, which said that they were not interested in the roads that were being built in the north of Kosovo.

"On the one hand they say they don't care about us, and then they say it's a strategy, but not only that, The MP of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Abelard Tahiri, said we didn't have enough policemen to fill the buildings," Kurti says.

Kurti added that he agreed with MP Enver Hoxhaj, who said that we needed a closed session because there were "MPs who talk incoherently".

Kurti addressed the opposition in the Assembly of Kosovo and told them not to spread misinformation because the Kosovo police, by law, also worked in the north of Kosovo.

"Don't spread misinformation saying that the Kosovo police have been stopped, there is no one to stop the Kosovo police," Kurti said.

Kurti said that the truthiness of the oath of the former MPs had been shown by their last action;  after their resignation, they had submitted a new one, and had not come to the sessions, and called that a strategy.

"The oath they took is a strategic action in the fight against our country. Therefore, it is not worth recalling the past in which Serbs in institutions took an oath - today we know how true the oath was," said Kurti and added that it should not classify all Serbs since, as he added, there were many Serbs who worked together with Albanians at that moment.
