PRISTINA, June 13 /ATA/ – Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti announced Tuesday a five-point plan to deescalate situation in the country’s north, including fresh early elections in the Serb-dominated municipalities and the meeting between Kosovo and Serbia leaders this week in Brussels.
Speaking at a press conference after a meeting with the QUINT ambassadors, PM Kurti also said that he expects Brussels to take notice of full readiness of Kosovo institutions to deescalate situation in north and normalize relations with Serbia.
The government head said that he has had a series of phone calls with international partners on Monday and that Kosovo is interested in reaching a solution to deescalate the situation.
“The first step is to restore rule of law in the north of Kosovo. The situation there hasn’t been normal for a while,” Kurti said. According to him, the second step is to identify and prosecute all of those who committed acts of violence in the north of Kosovo.
The third point of the plan is to withdraw special police forces from the north once violent groups leave. The fourth point of the plan states that Kosovo police along with KFOR and EULEX will coordinate efforts to guarantee security, while the fifth point states that the government of Kosovo will declare early elections.
Kurti also said that the aim is for Kosovo to return to the process of dialogue with Serbia and that the EU should guarantee the implementation of the Framework Agreement.
