Prime Minister Abdullah Hoti says Kosovo will not make compromises to reach a final agreement with Serbia. He expressed uncertainty about the way the dialogue will continue after Serbia’s insistence to open the topic of the Association of Serb Municipalities but said that the dialogue will not stagnate because of Kosovo.

“The Association issue was concluded in 2013. But the dialogue will not stall because of Kosovo. We are an independent state; we have clear principles agreed with our international friends,” he said. “Based on these principles, we are ready for dialogue. Kosovo made compromises in 2008 when it declared independence.” Asked whether the LDK would make a compromise to vote a PDK candidate for president, Hoti did not deny rule out such a possibility. /GazetaExpress/
