NATO: “Kosovo-Montenegro border agreement, unrelated to us”

This is the answer of NATO to the concern of some Kosovo experts, who said that Montenegro’s accession could influence the renegotiation of the border agreement.

Experts said that now that NATO has accepted Montenegro with the current borders, chances for them to review the agreements could be lower. Besides this, the agreement has been ratified by the Parliament, and a pro-Russian politicians are very powerful, making it very hard for the government to review borders.

NATO made it clear that they don’t interfere and that they expect the countries to resolve these matters peacefully and based on the international law, according to Radio Free Europe.

In Kosovo, many politicians are against the agreement with Montenegro. Ramush Haradinaj, candidate for Prime Minister of the PDK, AKK and Nisma parties coalition, has openly declared to be against it. The candidate of the Self-Determination Movement, Albin Kurti, also warned that they would review the agreement.

Kosovo and Montenegro signed the border agreement in 2015, in Veinna. But many Kosovo lawmakers insist that Kosovo is going to lose territory with this agreement, and that is why they don’t vote it, although the demarkation is a condition for EU integration.
