Serb community "will not be given executive powers"

PRISTINA Kosovo Albanian authorities "will not accept any executive powers for the association of Serb municipalities", writes Albanian language daily Koha Ditore. Belgrade insists on this type of jurisdiction to be given to the future community of municipalities. Serb community "will not be given executive powers" "Pristina will never accept that the association of Serb municipalities should receive legislative competences, the Court of Appeals, or a separate police force. No community can have powers belonging to the central level," said adviser to the Kosovo prime minister Bekim Colaku. The comments came ahead of a new round of the EU-mediated negotiations, scheduled for April 2 in Brussels. According Colaku, the main principle that Hashim Thaci will be governed by in Brussels is "to accept all that is in accordance with the Constitution and reject everything that is not." "To accept any agreement that is consistent with the Constitution and laws of Kosovo, not to accept any agreement that is inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of Kosovo," will be Thaci's principle as he sits opposite Ivica Dacic, according to this article. Colaku also stated that "within the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue" issues that have been discussed during the past three rounds will be talked about, and said those were "the formation of the association of Serb municipalities, its functioning and tasks."
