Six Members of the Parliament of Serbia recognize Kosovo’s independence and support Albin Kurti Government.

Serbian Parliament MPs: Sylejman Ugljanin, chairman of the Party of Democratic Action of Sandzak, Mr Shaip Kamberi, head of the Parliamentary Group “United Valley – SDA Sandzak”, Enis Imamovic, Nadije Beqiri, Mirsad Hodzic, Argjend Bajrami, Selma Kucevic, expressed their full support to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, in the meeting they had Thursday in his office in the Government of the Republic of Kosovo.

According to the Government’s press release the chairman of SDA, Sulejman Ugljanin, thanked Prime Minister Kurti for the adoption in the Assembly of Kosovo of the resolution condemning the genocide in Srebrenica. He said Bosniaks are very grateful that the Assembly of Kosovo aligned with the righteous side and condemned the greatest crime in Europe since World War II, when 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed and massacred in just one day by Serbian security forces.

“Ugljanin stressed that the deputies of the coalition ‘United Valley – SDA Sandzak’ recognize the independence and state of Kosovo. He said that they support Prime Minister Kurti and the Government of Kosovo in their commitment to protect the rights of Albanians in Serbia. By protecting the rights of Albanians, you are also protecting the rights of Bosniaks, said Mr Ugljanin. He praised Prime Minister Kurti’s approach to establishing reciprocity in terms of the rights of national minorities in Kosovo and Serbia. This is the medicine for solving the problems of minorities in the Balkans,” the Government said in a press release.

Serbian MPs informed Prime Minister Kurti about the functioning of the executive bodies of the National Councils, saying that the Bosniak National Council in Serbia has 35 members and 7 delegates on the executive board, while the Assembly of the Albanian National Council has 15 members. Prime Minister Kurti said that half of Sandzak is currently in NATO and half is not, based on the fact that one part of Sandzak is in Serbia and the other in Montenegro.

He reiterated that Serbia must distance itself from Slobodan Milosevic’s bloody past and politics. Without distancing itself and making an introspection for its past, Serbia cannot move towards the future and normalization of relations with Kosovo, said Prime Minister Kurti. /GazetaExpress/
