Oleksiy Goncharenko, a Ukrainian MP and initiator of the bill on recognising Kosovo in the Ukrainian Parliament, described as a diplomatic mistake the statement made in Belgrade by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine would not change its position against recognising Kosovo’s independence.

On the platform X, Goncharenko shared Zelensky’s statement along with a photograph showing that the “Free Ukraine” slogan had been removed from the Grand Hotel in Pristina.

“This is a diplomatic mistake. Ukrainians support Kosovo’s independence and we believe that Ukraine should recognise this state,” he wrote.

Goncharenko stressed that he would continue his commitment to Kosovo’s independence, expressing his conviction that Ukraine would eventually recognise it.

Albana Bytyqi, an MP from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), has called on all political parties to demonstrate responsibility and reflect. According to her, the political situation in the country can be unblocked and the institutions, including the president, can be elected only through compromise.

She said that convening the Assembly at the last minute has now become standard practice, but added that what matters is that the process produces results.

Bytyqi said that, unfortunately, everyone has become accustomed to the Assembly meeting at the last minute. However, according to her, this does not matter if the outcome is positive, as good results create a positive atmosphere and show that the country is moving in the right direction.

According to the AAK MP, overcoming the institutional deadlock requires all political parties to share responsibility.

She said that each side must assume its share of responsibility. Bytyqi said it is clear that LVV, as the leading party, bears responsibility, but the other opposition parties must also contribute. According to her, both the government and the opposition must make concessions, reflect and help the country move forward, as it has fallen behind and the time for reflection has now come.

Bytyqi also called on MPs to put the national interest ahead of party interests, regardless of which political party they belong to.

She stressed that this is a period everyone is facing and that every elected MP must reflect individually, regardless of party affiliation. According to her, everyone must assume responsibility and make their contribution so that the country does not remain deadlocked.

Commenting on political developments, the MP also mentioned the internal assembly of the Democratic League of Kosovo, which is expected to be held on Thursday. She expressed hope that the circumstances needed to launch dialogue between the parties could be created after the assembly.

Bytyqi said the LDK would hold its internal assembly on Thursday and expressed hope that talks would then gradually begin, an agreement would be reached and the country would not be sent to elections.

In conclusion, she said that she personally does not consider elections to be a solution, expressing hope that an agreement on electing the president and forming the government would be reached as soon as possible.

The AAK MP reiterated that she does not want the country to go to elections and expressed hope that all issues, both the presidency and the government, would be resolved.

Time Kadrijaj, the newly elected MP from the ranks of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), has expressed her conviction that there are individuals in the country’s political scene who use narcotic substances.

She referred to her party’s proposal requiring all lawmakers to undergo a drug test.

Kadrijaj herself stated that she has already completed the test and that the result came back negative.

“I do not think it is dignified for someone holding high decision-making positions to be a drug user. I challenge them to take the tests, as I did. Statistics show us that this phenomenon in Kosovo is increasing, especially among young people,” she said.

When asked directly whether she believes there are politicians who take prohibited substances, the newly elected AAK MP gave an affirmative answer.

“I am of the opinion that yes, there are people who use them. This can be noticed from the way they behave, from their gestures,” Kadrijaj affirmed.

Without mentioning any specific names, her statements came at a time when the initiative for mandatory drug testing of MPs has sparked widespread discussion in Kosovar politics.

In an interview with Radio Belgrade on the topic “The Position of the Serbian People in Kosovo”, Simiq also levelled accusations at the Minister for Communities and Return, Nenad Rashiq. According to him, Rashiq secured support mainly from Albanian voters rather than from the Serbian community, KosovaPress reports.

He stated that Rashiq had received a large number of votes in municipalities where, according to his claim, no Serbs live, portraying this as electoral manipulation. However, Simiq provided no concrete evidence for the claims that the process had been manipulated or that the mandate had been “stolen”.

Elections in Kosovo are administered by the Central Election Commission, while results are certified following legal procedures and the handling of complaints by the competent bodies. So far, no court or institutional decision has found any manipulation of the mandate won by Rashiq. The Serbian List, meanwhile, has also secured votes in the municipalities where Rashiq received votes.

Most of Simiq’s statements focused on Prime Minister Albin Kurti, whom he accused of “nationalism”, “discrimination against Serbs” and “apartheid”. He also claimed that more than a thousand attacks against Serbs and arbitrary arrests had been recorded during Kurti’s term, but did not provide sources or documents to support these figures and accusations. Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti has addressed Serbian citizens living in Kosovo several times in Serbian, with the aim of avoiding disinformation, but Simiq implied that this did not matter to him.

Simiq also criticised the reaction of the international community, claiming that the European Union and international partners are remaining silent over what he described as “violations of the rights of Serbs in Kosovo”.

During the interview, he called Rashiq “Kurti’s Serb” and accused him of supporting Kosovo Government decisions which, according to him, harmed the interests of the Serbian community. He mentioned expropriations in the north, the lack of opposition to cabinet decisions, support for integrating Serbian institutions into Kosovo’s system, and Rashiq’s positions against the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities.

According to Simiq, Rashiq cannot have the support of Serbs because he was Kurti’s minister when, he claimed, the “seizure” and exploitation of land in the north was voted through. He called this the “classic theft” of Serb land in Zubin Potok and Leposaviq for the construction of police bases and special units, saying that police bases had been set up on these lands, occupied mainly by Albanians with long-barrelled weapons and armoured vehicles.

He also reiterated the Serbian List’s longstanding position that Serbia’s financial and institutional assistance is essential for the survival of the Serbian community in Kosovo. Simiq stressed that Belgrade continues to finance education, healthcare and payments for some Serbian citizens in Kosovo.

Simiq stated that Serbia helps families with three children and those in severe social hardship with school textbooks. He claimed that these textbooks are smuggled in because, according to him, Prishtina does not allow any Cyrillic textbooks to enter. According to him, Serbs in Kosovo know their identity and affiliation, and without Belgrade and Serbia there would be no Serbs in Kosovo. He added that Belgrade is the capital for all Serbs in Kosovo and that this, according to him, has been, is and will remain the case.

Defending the Serbian List, Simiq stated that his party has the overwhelming support of Serbs in Kosovo. He denied accusations that the party pressures voters or manipulates the electoral process.

Kosovo institutions, meanwhile, have repeatedly stated that elections are held in accordance with the legislation in force and are monitored by domestic and international observation missions. Their reports have not identified any manipulation that could affect the election result or the allocation of mandates.

It was initially Taulant Balla who instructed MPs on how to avoid the protesters’ eggs. Like a platoon commander from the days of Enver Hoxha’s military drills, Mr. Balla directed the MPs to carry out evasive maneuvers to escape the eggs.

“Attention. On the Toptani side there are protesters with eggs. Come from the Mosque side,” the head of the parliamentary group wrote to the Socialist MPs.

But although at the entrance Rama’s MPs managed to avoid the protesters, the situation changed around midday, when on the way out the vehicles of some MPs were hit with eggs by the protesters. The first to complain about the police was Erjon Braçe, whose car was struck several times with eggs by protesters.

“The fact that the police are allowing the degradation of MPs in front of cameras is unacceptable. And there are only 100 of them in total. And in practical terms it is a physical attack,” Braçe wrote.

Rama’s communications director, Jonida Shehu, asked MPs to avoid the protesters.

Blendi Gonxhja also joined the discussion, but Mr. Gonxhja seems to have regretted what he wrote and deleted it immediately. In general, Mr. Gonxhja writes strange things unrelated to the topic or the situation, such as complaints that tickets for Kanye West’s concert are not being sold. It is not known whether this time too he raised the issue of concert tickets, because the message was deleted quickly.

But the discussion continued with Mr. Braçe, who described the attacks on MPs as deliberate hunting.

“Look, I think this is deliberate and this is a clear hunt against every MP, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman. If the state police have this objective, very well; good for everyone, but we don’t owe this to anyone,” Braçe continued in his complaint.

The Socialist MP from Lezhë, Admir Kadeli, also felt frightened.

“At the very least, why don’t you let the MPs’ cars inside, but leave them to come out on foot? Is Parliament’s security endangered by the MPs’ cars?!” Kadeli asked in the form of a complaint to the parliamentary administration, which does not allow MPs’ cars inside Parliament’s perimeter.

Exactly 20 minutes after these discussions, police intervened violently, escorting away six protesters and holding them for several hours at police stations in Tirana.

But beyond revealing why the government set the police against the protesters, the conversations between Socialist MPs show something even bigger: the majority is now frightened of the protesters and sees conspiracies everywhere./Kapitali

In a Facebook reaction, he said he had not gotten the impression that any representative of the Republic of Kosovo had intended to damage relations with Montenegro.

“As a representative of the Albanian Alliance, I did not have the impression that anyone from the Republic of Kosovo wanted to damage relations in Montenegro. On the contrary, my understanding is that Kosovo’s competent authorities assessed that there were security reasons for preventive action regarding the specific individuals,” he wrote.

According to Capuni, there can be debate over whether the assessment by Kosovo’s institutions was right or not, but this, in his view, remains in the hands of the authorities of a sovereign state.

He added that Kosovo had acted through its institutions and within its proper jurisdiction.

“While we expect everyone to respect the decisions of Montenegro’s institutions, so too should the right of other countries to make decisions in accordance with their own laws be respected,” Capuni concluded.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Parliament of Montenegro, Andrija Mandiq, said that behind the decision to ban the mayor of the Municipality of Niksic, Marko Kovaceviq, and the president of the Berane Municipal Assembly, Vidi Ivanoviq, from entering Kosovo is Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

According to a statement from the Nova Srpska Demokratija (NSD) party, led by Mandiq, he claimed that MPs from Albanian parties in Montenegro had also understood that “someone wants to damage relations between Serbian and Albanian politicians in Montenegro.”
