The non-implementation of the decision of the Constitutional Court, which requires the transfer of 24 hectares of land owned by the monastery of Deçan, has sparked heated debates in Kosovo, and this, at the time when a possible vote is expected in April regarding the country's request for membership in the Council of Europe.

The European Initiative for Stability (ESI) published a report a few days ago, underlining that the ownership conflict between the authorities of Kosovo and the Monastery of Deçan constitutes one of the main obstacles for its membership in the Council of Europe. The Council itself has not officially affirmed that the implementation of the decision of the Constitutional Court for the Monastery of Deçan is a condition for membership, but this has already been implied in some cases by the ambassadors of the Quint countries, which include the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy.

The Ambassador of Germany in Kosovo, Jörn Rohde, in an interview with the local media, made it clear that "without respecting the decisions of the Court, Kosovo has difficulty joining the EC". "Kosovo is a democratic state and in a democratic state you have a guarantor of the Constitution, which is the Constitutional Court. This Court has made an all-powerful decision and if you want to become members of the EC, the decisions must be respected", declared the ambassador.

The decision of the Constitutional Court is final and obliges the institutions of Kosovo in this case and the municipality of Deçan, to transfer 24 hectares of land to the monastery. But the leaders of the municipality of Deçan refuse to implement it and do not agree with the decision, while they insist that the properties around the monastery belong to two public enterprises, while the Court has strengthened an agreement from 1997, during the time of Slobodan Milosevic, when the Serbian administration those lands had passed into the ownership of the monastery. /Top channel
