Platform of Serbia, a part of which was published by the Serbian media, requiring a kind of autonomous status for Serb-inhabited northern municipalities, according to the model of the Republika Srpska in Bosnia, in Kosovo is seeing as dangerous for Kosovo. 

Representatives of opposition parties and political analysts say that such a platform is frivolous and its implementation, according to them, is damaging and would jeopardize everything that has been built so far in relations between Kosovo and Serbia.

A member of the LDK, Sadri Ferati, calling the platform of Serbia on Kosovo as frivolous, says that with this platform, Serbia is showing that it is not interested in improvement of relations with Kosovo.
"This is a tactical move in order to require something which cannot be done, in order to increase pressure on Pristina to achieve something else then. This is not a serious approach at all, nor a willingness to normalize relations to talk and discuss with Pristina the rights of Serbian citizens in that area," Ferati told the " Tribuna Shqiptare”.

Creating autonomy in the northern Kosovo, where Serb community is in the majority, according to the deputy Ferati, would raise the desire of all majority communities living in the Balkan states, to seek independence in the country where they live.

"This would introduce a precedent that certainly would have had an impact on other areas. Because there are not only Serbs of the northern part the majority, but we have also Albanians in Presevo Valley, Sanxhak, Vojvodina, Tetovo, Skopje, Ulcinj that are inhabited by the majority of the minority communities. What would happen if 30 or 40 thousand residents of minority communities begin to behave as it is behaving Serbian citizens in the north, the crisis in the Balkans would be inevitable, " Ferati said. / telegrafi /
