Lawyer Valdet Hoxha has said that the harsh reaction of the European Union will force the country's institutions to take a few steps back regarding the Police action on Monday in the north in six units of the Postal Savings Bank.
On Tuesday on KTV's "60 Minutes", Hoxha said that as long as there is no failure of dialogue on this issue, no actions should be taken that could be considered unilateral by international partners.
"Until there is a failure of the dialogue format, some actions should be limited or coordinated because without coordination with international partners it is impossible to think of classical sovereignty. The internationals are asking Kosovo for coordination in order not to take the burden of escalating the situation because the political, diplomatic and security situation in the north exceeds the framework of being a security situation within a state. The harsh reaction of the EU will force the institutions to take a few steps back", he said.
According to him, the reaction of the international community shows that it is a sensitive issue "and not always the right legal issues for a sovereign state become unilateral as it was in this particular case".
"Unfortunately, it was the next action described by international partners as one-sided. "Vučić's game, which cunningly plays the role of the victim, is finding suitable ground with some actions that are legal but at the wrong time," said Hoxha.
On Monday, the Kosovo Police closed six units of the Postal Savings Bank in the north, which have been operating illegally since the post-war period. About 1.6 million euros were confiscated in them.
Through the Savings Bank, salaries, payments for social schemes and other benefits that Serbia distributes to Kosovo Serbs are distributed in dinars.
The action was taken a few days after the seventh meeting in Brussels to find a solution regarding the dinar among the Serbian community failed.
