Bajqinovci: EU’s reaction to Serbian prosecutors is unfounded

Vetëvendosje Movement MP Mefail Bajqinovci considers the European Union’s reaction regarding the removal of Serbian prosecutors from Kosovo’s justice system to be unfounded.

He stressed that the multiethnic character of the state does not give anyone the right to leave institutions following political calls from Belgrade and then seek to re-enter office. Bajqinovci emphasized that legislation is the same for every citizen, regardless of ethnicity.

According to him, the actions of Kosovo’s institutions are based on the Constitution and the country’s legal framework, and he appealed to the EU to show consideration for decisions that stem from respect for the constitutional and legal order of the Republic of Kosovo.

Bajqinovci wrote that the EU’s stance on this issue makes no sense. He acknowledged that Kosovo is a multiethnic society, something protected by the Constitution and laws applied every day. However, he added that multiethnicity does not justify abandoning duty under political pressure from Belgrade and subsequent claims for return, because norms are clear and the rule of law applies equally to everyone.

He asserted that Kosovo’s institutions are guided exclusively by the Constitution and laws of the Republic, not by political directives coming from outside. If the EU truly supports the rule of law, then it must also accept decisions made in harmony with Kosovo’s constitutional and legal framework, the MP concluded.
