German ambassador Ernst Reichel criticised on Monday the opposition Self-Determination (Vetevendosje) movement for its stance over how Kosovo should be named in international forums, accusing its members of acting like children in kindergarten.
“In the EU, OSCE or UN, and any other international forums, the German delegation usually sits in front of a name plate with the word “Germany” and not “Federal Republic of Germany.” This same goes for the “Republic of France” or the “Kingdom of Holland” and almost all other countries. There is no reason why it should be different in Kosovo's case,” the press release quoted Reichel saying.
Kosovo’s Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, who has been put under pressure by the Self-Determination movement's actions, said last week that Pristina will continue to look for a solution on the name issue and “no solution” had yet been found with Belgrade.
Pristina’s envoy to the talks, Edita Tahiri, has said that Kosovo refuses to accept any reference to U.N. Resolution 1244 and considers it a “Red line which will not be crossed”.
When it comes to regional representation of Kosovo in meetings, Tahiri said that the problem was that Serbia was "not ready to accept the reality that Kosovo should be an equal participant in regional forums".
