Gërvalla: After Sunday, the association is dead for us
Donika Gërvalla

The Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, at the same time the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Donika Gërvalla, declared this evening in Top Story that the Association with Serbia "is dead".

She said that she now has completely different priorities after Sunday's attack, regarding the EU and the USA. Now, according to her, security is the main priority of discussions with internationals, which has changed Kosovo's position after Sunday.

Gërvalla said that there is no more serious offense than open aggression towards the one who claims to be at the table.

"To tell you the truth, after Sunday, every conversation about the Association seems superfluous to me, because after Sunday they have no meaning. The association is dead to us and the internationals. To coordinate the work of the municipalities in the north of Kosovo is another difference. There are four principles: not to violate sovereignty, the Constitution, not to harm, and to be coordinating. The association of 2013 is against the constitution of Kosovo and cannot be done. Escobar has very clearly determined that there can be no Association as it could be a second Serbian republic. For us, it was very important that the violation of the Constitution was not part of the agreement we accepted in Brussels. It did not happen because Serbia has been clear that it is not ready and that it lacks full readiness. We distinguish the EU from the USA because the USA has been more pragmatic in understanding the reality of our country and the Balkans. Every effort of ours to bring energy and results to the process, in the end you see that we are the only party that requires the implementation of the agreement in Brussels. This dialogue leads nowhere is a dead end.

For me, it is very important that after what happened on Sunday, there are completely different priorities in our relationship with internationals, security. There is no more serious offense than open aggression against the one who claims to have you at the table. Serbia is behind the attack and there was weapons for hundreds of troops," said Gërvalla.
