Serbian Prime Minister: “We will not revise the borders, because Kosovo is Serbia”
Serbian Prime Minister Anna Brnabic agreed with Kosovo “Prime Minister” Avdula Hoti, who said that the principle of negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina should be based on the inviolability of borders, but not in the way the separatist leader expected.
Balkan media reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Today in Pristina, at the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo, the newly elected “prime minister” of the region, Avdula Hoti, presented the “Platform for negotiations with Serbia.”

“The first principle that will not be the subject of negotiations is territorial integrity,” said the head of the separatists’ “cabinet.” “Secondly, an agreement must be reached in the spirit of the Kosovo Constitution... The goal of the dialogue is permanent mutual recognition, and not the model of two Germanys, and then Kosovo’s membership in the UN.”
Despite the principles that were supposed to satisfy the aspirations of the Albanian separatists, Hoti was criticized by political rivals.
In particular, having achieved the removal of his main enemy, the leader of “Self-Determination” Albin Kurti, “President” Hashim Thaci said that the “government” of Hoti is a “government of the Albanian minority”, and without taking into account the will of the Albanian majority, such issues as the format of dialogue with Belgrade do not are being decided.
The leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, war criminal Ramush Haradinaj, made a similar statement. “Self-determination” completely refused to recognize Hoti’s “cabinet”.
"I called on the opposition (to the development of the platform - ed.), some did not respond, and some offered cooperation, but not specific ones. The dialogue is led by the Prime Minister, I will not compete with anyone, because I have clear powers, and they are concretized by the decision of the Constitutional Court in 2019,” Hoti responded to the attacks, while at the same time promising that a forum would be created for dialogue with the leaders of all political parties, a council of experts will be created in the office of the “prime minister”, and he himself will ask the Assembly of Kosovo to form a parliamentary commission for dialogue, which will be led by representatives of the parliamentary opposition.
The only one who agreed with some of the principles of Hoti’s platform was unexpectedly Serbian Prime Minister Anna Brnabic, who, however, did not do it the way the head of the separatist “cabinet” would have liked.
“I want to thank Mr. Hoti for once again clarifying that there is no need to discuss territories,” Brnabic said. “I think we and about 70 percent of the world's population agree on this, and most countries in the UN agree too. And UN Security Council Resolution 1244 also talks about this. Thus, Mr. Hoti acknowledges and agrees that there will be no negotiations on territories, since the so-called Republic of Kosovo does not exist, and the territory of the Republic of Serbia remains as it is.”
