Kosovo prime minister, Avdullah Hoti, called on opposition parties to join his team in the dialogue with Serbia set to take place on 4 September in Washington.

Hoti addressing media after Government’s meeting said that currently he is working on composition of the Kosovo delegation who are expected to meet at the White House with Serbian delegation, under mediation  of the US National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien and President Donald Trump’s special envoy on dialogue, Richard Grenell.

Hoti said that he already wrote letters to the opposition parties of Vetevendosje and the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) asking them to propose their representatives who would join the delegation of Kosovo. “I remain open to create an inclusive negotiation team composed of all political parties,” he said. According to PM Hoti all coalition leaders, LDK, AAK and Nisma, agree that dialogue with Serbia should be concluded with mutual recognition. “We have agreed to enter the dialogue on mutual recognition,” he said.

Talking on the expert level meeting within the political dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia which will be held on 27 August in Brussels, facilitated by the EU, Hoti said that parties will discuss economic issues. /GazetaExpress/
