(ANSA) - BELGRADE, OCTOBER 9 - Albin Kurti, the leader of the
'Self-determination' movement that won the early elections in
Kosovo, said that the possible new government he might lead
would include Serbs, but not representatives of the Srpska
Lista. SL is the largest and most important party of the Serbian
minority that is closely linked to the Belgrade government and
President Aleksandar Vucic.
In some interviews cited by Belgrade-based media, Kurti
underlined that he would not accept in his government Serbian
leaders who do not recognize Kosovo and who are closely
connected with Belgrade.
Kurti pointed out that according to the constitution of
Kosovo, the government should include at least one minister from
the Serbian community, but he also remarked that the
Constitution does not say that this minister should belong to
Srpska Lista.
As for the dialogue with Belgrade, Kurti said that
immediately after the formation of the new government, talks
would begin with Brussels, in the person of the new High
Representative for foreign and security policy, a position which
Spain's Josep Borrell has been designated to hold. "We need a
true dialogue (with Belgrade) and we need to be well prepared
for it since we cannot afford another failure," said Kurti.
According to the leader of the self-determination movement, it
is necessary to revise all the 33 agreements which have achieved
between Pristina and Belgrade from 2011 to 2017. Kurti is
convinced that the dialogue with Belgrade should be resumed
based on solid principles. Kurti himself, speaking to the
Kosovar broadcaster KTV, said he pursued the goal of national
unification of all the Albanians in the region, a goal that
Serbia has denounced as the design of 'Greater Albania'. (ANSA).
