INTERVIEW OF KOSOVO PM BAJRAM REXHEPI FOR POLITICAL MAGAZINE "START"

Skopje, May 19 (MIA) - The current status quo in the border delineation would be overcome with an agreement of two committees from Kosovo and Macedonia, but after the defining of Kosovo status, Kosovo Prime Minister Bajram Rexhepi stated for political magazine "Start".
According to him, the border issue should not be an obstacle for good neighboring relations.
"We do have any remarks on majority of the border, but for several oscillations", Rexhepi emphasized.
Kosovo Prime Minister stated that the relations between Macedonia and Kosovo have improved.
"This means that the previous tensions have calmed down. We do not have any territorial or political ambitions, and we would be happy if Macedonia was a stabile state, which is a pre-condition for Kosovo's stability", Rexhepi said.
According to Rexhepi, the ideas for ethnic states are not new.
"I know that the late Serbian Prime Minister suggested that idea to Georgievski- Macedonia's and Kosovo's division once and for all, creation of a wall, so that there is nothing in common among Macedonians, Albanians and Serbs. There is no political party or a serious institution in Kosovo that would support such an idea", Rexhepi stated.
Kosovo Prime Minister said that the support of Arben Xhaferi for an ethnic state was given as a result of the disappointment after the election loss.
"I do not agree with his concept. He spent much of his life in the development of the multiethnic concept, contributed to the Ohrid Agreement, and has no energy to support it any longer. As a doctor, I know that he is physically unable to start a new concept", Rexhepi stressed.
He added that the defining of Kosovo's status should not be delayed any longer, because it conditions the stability of the entire region.
"If we don't have clear perspectives, the radical forces in the region will gain credibility and things can get out of control", Rexhepi states.
Referring to the essence of the Resolution on KLA's fight, Prime Minister Rexhepi said that its objective is adoption of a law on the type of the war, "as in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and all states that experienced wars for liberation". /mia
