Vucic against Rama: He has no right to make a proposal for the Association, the
Aleksandar Vucic

The President of Serbia, Aleksandër Vucic, has stated that neither the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, nor the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, have the right to make a proposal for the statute of the Association of Serb-majority municipalities in the north of Kosovo.

In an interview for Reuters, he reiterated that only the management team, which was agreed upon earlier, composed of Serbs, has the right to propose this charter.

"When you hear that Kurti has his proposal for the Association of Serbian Municipalities, that Rama has his proposal for the Association of Serbian Municipalities, that some NGOs have their proposal for the Association of Serbian Municipalities, none of them have the right to have proposals . That proposal should be made by the Serbs and the management team composed of Serbs", said Vucic.

Vucic asked Kosovo not to organize new elections for the mayors of the municipalities in the north, until the ethnic Serbs have more autonomy.

"All Serbs in the north think that Serbia is their country, not Kosovo. This is normal, but the Pristina government refuses to accept this reality.

The point is that someone has to come down to earth, understand the reality, allow elections, and there is no question of having elections in which someone else will interfere, in which it is decided locally who will win. However, will the Serbs accept this and under what conditions? Because let's not forget that we still don't have the Association of Serbian Municipalities, we still don't have the withdrawal of special forces and the illegal mayors still haven't left," said the Serbian president.

Violence erupted in northern Kosovo last week after elected Albanian mayors tried to enter the offices of Serb-majority municipalities following local elections in April, where turnout was just 3.5%.

During the unrest, Serbian protesters clashed with NATO peacekeepers, leaving dozens injured on both sides. Serbia then put its armed forces on the highest combat alert and NATO sent reinforcements to its mission in Kosovo.

The European Union and the United States, Kosovo's strongest supporters, have asked Pristina to organize new elections to calm tensions and for Serbia to withdraw its combat readiness and remove troops from the border with Kosovo.

But Vucic said the authorities in Kosovo would have to make some concessions to ensure Serbian participation in a new vote. Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said earlier that the country can hold new elections in the municipalities in question if 20% of voters sign a petition requesting them. It also accused Serbia of interference.

A day ago, Prime Minister Edi Rama declared to journalists that he has prepared a draft statute for the Association, which he had sent to French President Macron and German Chancellor Scholz.
