Kosovo Parliament writes to 5 EU countries for recognition

The Kosovo Parliamentary Commission for Foreign Affairs will send a letter to their homologues of the five EU countries that have not recognized Kosovo yet.

The decision was taken this Wednesday and according to the Chairman of this Commission, Albin Kurti, the letter will have a detailed explanation of Kosovo’s Independence.

“Many of these states have been misinformed about Kosovo by Serbia and Serbia’s friends, but we also know that they have their internal problems. However, if these states find an analogy between Kosovo and their interior problems, we would suggest to not compare themselves with Milosevic’s regime and Serbia in general”, Kurti declared.

The former Kosovo Foreign Minister, now an MP for the LDK, Skender Hyseni, Kosovo must pressure the decision making centers, such as Washington, Brussels, London and Paris, by insisting in the need of an unified policy from the EU. He added that the EU should abandon the neutrality policy that started after these five states decided to not recognize Kosovo.

The other members of the commission declared that the Kosovo Parliament should give more efforts with the recognition. The PDK parliament member, Hydajet Hyseni, declared that the Commissions can influence the respective governments for this decision.

Donika Kadaj Bujupi, a Parliament Member from the AAK, declared that these prime level commitments through letters and inter-parliamentary visits help improving the general perception about Kosovo.

Besides Kosovo’s recognition, the letter also aims to establish contacts between Kosovo’s Parliament and the homologue commissions of these states.
