Being deeply concerned by the escalation of the political situation in the country, due to which the security of the citizens of Kosovo is at risk and the important processes are blocked in the country, and convinced that violence is not the solution to any problem or dispute, we, the MPs of Kosovo, propose the attached document as a draft political agreement which can serve as a starting point for political dialogue between party leaders to find a political solution that restores the functionality of the Assembly.
Political agreement
– Considering that Kosovo institutions represent the interests of all citizens of the country and are protected by the Constitution and by law;
– Recognizing the contribution and sacrifice of all citizens and their political representatives in Kosovo to build these institutions;
– Being forever grateful for the support of democratic countries in the world for Kosovo’s freedom, peace and the process of state building and strengthening of the statehood;
– Recognizing the intention of the citizens of Kosovo for Euro-Atlantic integration of the country and important reforms that our country needs to undertake in the process of integration;
– Acknowledging that violence, in any form, does not solve any problem, but only further deepens the divisions and disagreements,
– In order to solve the political situation in the country,
Democratic Party of Kosovo, (PDK) the Democratic League of Kosovo, (LDK) , VETËVENDOSJE !, Movement (VV), Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, (AAK) and NISMA (NK), reach the following:
