The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani received today the European Union Special Representative Miroslav Lajčák.
Latest developments in the dialogue process with Serbia, with President Osmani reiterating Kosovo’s commitment as a constructive party in this process were discussed at the meeting. Madam President emphasized that the Brussels agreement of February 27th, 2023 and the Ohrid annex of March 18th 2023 must be fully implemented.
President Osmani emphasized the need to lift the European Union measures against Kosovo, which are unfair and create a lack of balance in the dialogue. In this regard, she stated that Kosovo has offered the organization of new elections in the north of the country in accordance with Kosovo’s legal framework through the approval of the administrative instruction, potentiating her expectations that this right of the citizens is implemented without delay and in compliance with the procedures and legislation in force.
The latest achievements regarding the implementation of the agreement on energy and license plates were welcomed at the meeting, as steps towards the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia.
As far as the draft of the Association’s statute is concerned, Madam President reiterated that the only institution that can conclusively interpret the conformity of this act with the Constitution is the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, and also expressed her concerns regarding certain provisions of this draft, which may prove as challenging in its implementation in practice.
