Six-point plan nonexistent, says Thaci

Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said on Tuesday in Pristina that the six-point plan has no relevance in Kosovo. "The six-point plan is nonexistent. It doesn't exist in any document, on any table, in the vocabulary of any politician or in any kind of circumstance that can be regarded as our priority or an international priority," he told RFE in an interview. Six-point plan nonexistent, says Thaci The Kosovo institutions, Thaci continued, will completely respect the Ahtisaari document and the constitution of Kosovo. He also said that EULEX's arrival in the north will bring about "integration" of this Serb-controlled area. "After nine years of waiting, the civil international authority began to deploy its authority in the north, and soon this authority will be also deployed by Kosovo's institutions also. There won't be any more illegal parallel structures. Instead, there will be integration of the Serb community into society, as well as in the institutions," according to Thaci. He also expressed his belief that Kosovo will strengthen internally and integrate into international institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank, and also, "in the near future", in NATO, UN and EU. RFE described the six-point compromise plan put forward by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as "saving EULEX, but weakening its mandate in Serb-majority regions in the north". Kosovo Albanians, meanwhile, the radio station continued in its report, say plan "threatens Kosovo's sovereignty by diluting its central institutions".
