The Kosovo assembly in Pristina rejected on Thursday a proposal filed by opposition parties to end the talks with Belgrade. The proposal said they were not transparent and that the government did not have the assembly's approval to participate in them. Assembly in Pristina rejects opposition calls to end talks Three parties of the opposition, the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo, Self-Determination Movement and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, requested that the talks be stopped, adding that the agreements made so far were in breach of "Kosovo's sovereignty". Democratic Alliance of Kosovo whip Ismet Beciri accused head of the Pristina delegation Edita Tahiri of not providing enough information about the dialogue and bypassing the assembly. Beciri suggested that the talks be suspended until the government comes out with a platform for them, which would be coordinated with international representatives in Kosovo. Alliance for the Future of Kosovo whip Ardijan Djini said the government had no clear goal for the talks with Belgrade. Prime Minister Hashim Thaci responded that the agreements resulting from the talks "did not affect Kosovo's sovereignty and territorial integrity nor diminished its independence". He added that putting a stop to the dialogue would lead Kosovo into isolation and conflict with the U.S. and EU. The main goal of the talks is to ensure the citizens have freedom of movement throughout the region and Europe, Thaci stated. Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo unilaterally declared independence more than three years ago, but Serbia rejected the proclamation as illegal. The ongoing, EU-sponsored talks are the first the two sides have engaged in since the UDI.
