The Alliance’s Parliamentary Group chief, Besnik Tahiri, has commented today on the possibility of establishing the Association of Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo.
He after the Kosovo Parliament’s Headship meeting, has said he would not be surprised if the Kosovo government changes access to the issue, referring to the Ohrid Agreement, agreed in 2023.
According to him, in this agreement it is said that all earlier international agreements must be implemented.
Minister for Communities and Kthim Nenad Rassic said days ago that the Kosovo government could be more willing to establish association of Serb majority municipalities after winning the Student List in the elections in Serbia on October 25th.
The previous government has approved the Ohrid Agreement. The Ohrid Agreement specifically states that all international agreements thus far will be applicable. This agreement is on the European Union Web site. I am not surprised at the report on this subject, Tahiri said.
On the other hand, Tahiri has asked Prime Minister Albin Kurti to publish the list of 171 doctors who, according to him, have returned to Kosovo.
Tahiri has said that the evacuation of medical and health personnel from Kosovo, especially towards Germany and Switzerland, is obvious. To illustrate, he has mentioned cases from his family circle, saying that two doctors he knows have left for Germany.
He has asked Kurti to make public the names of returnees, saying that if this list is published, he will also present a list of about 170 Kosovo professionals who have fled abroad.
For the one with the escape of health and health personnel from Kosovo, in particular in Germany and Switzerland, this is not a secret. Just look into your family, in your company and you find one person. Just when I think about it, I’m thinking that Dr. Rina, my cousin, is in Germany and the very well-known doctor, Zana Luci, she’s in Germany. I do not know any name that has come and is working in Kosovo. I had fun and I don’t know that. I ask the prime minister publicly to show us the 171-strong list. As he publishes it, I will publish the list of some 170 Kosovars who have gone abroad, he stressed.
Prime Minister Albin Kurti had declared that 171 doctors have returned to Kosovo during 2025. This figure has sparked debate in the country, while the Health Ministry has clarified that it is up to 171 health professionals, out of whom 12 are Kosovo citizens turning after specialisations abroad, while 159 are of foreign or dual citizenship, equipped with licenses to work in Kosovo. /Kp/
