PRISHTINA, March 17 /ATA/ President of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani said that she expects a positive result in Saturday’s meeting in Ohrid between Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Alexander Vucic.
However, she emphasized that every effort of Serbia to hinder the agreement through imposing conditions damages the dialogue.
After the meeting with the US special envoy Gabriel Escobar on Friday, Osmani said that Kosovo engages in dialogue with full commitment and a constructive approach.
“We strongly believe that a fair, stable and comprehensive agreement in which we are treated as two equal states is the only way to ensure long-term peace, stability and prosperity in the region. Kosovo goes to Ohrid with this mindset and hope for a positive result. Every attempt from Serbia to prevent this result through imposing conditions can completely damage the dialogue process”, she said.
During a press conference, Osmani spoke about her expectations for the agreement with Serbia based on the European Union plan, where she said that the same will bring concrete and tangible results to Kosovo.
She also reminded that the constitutional order, territorial integrity, sovereignty and internal functionality of Kosovo must be preserved in every negotiation process.
Meanwhile, the US emissary for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar expressed optimism for a positive result in Ohrid.
He emphasized that the European proposal is an extraordinary opportunity for peace, while he added that the US, as the main supporter of Kosovo, wants this to work for Kosovo.
During his stay in Kosovo, Escobar also met Speaker of the Assembly Glauk Konjufca and Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
Yesterday, he was in Serbia, while he is expected to be in Ohrid on Saturday, at the meeting between Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Alexander Vucic, where it is expected to be discussed the EU proposal for dialogue and its implementation. /KosovaPress/p.s./
