The Neglecting of Non-Serb Minority Communities in the Kosovo–Serb Technical Agreements
On 9 March 2015, the political representatives of the non-Serb minority communities in Kosovo evaluated the judiciary agreement, which was reached between Serbia and Kosovo in Brussels last month, as scandalous and in violation of Kosovo laws. The agreement was sent to Assembly Members last Friday, 6 March 2015, almost one month after the agreement was reached in Brussels during the night of 9–10 February. Representatives of the non-Serb minority communities in Kosovo, which include Ashkali, Bosniaks, Egyptians, Gorani, Roma and Turks, have criticised the fact that the judiciary agreement only mentions Serbs and Albanians and completely excludes other communities. They have threatened to take the case to the Constitutional Court and relevant international courts.
This Political Update looks into these events and the criticism against the judiciary agreement.
