Makolli's statement given to the portal "GazetaBlic.com":
"It is possible that the EU and the US have prepared a draft document for the immediate de-escalation of the situation, the release of our three kidnapped police officers, for further steps for organizing new elections in the northern municipalities of the country and eventually a draft statute for the Association or local self-government, as it is called in the Ohrid Agreement document. All of this as a final proposal, "take it or leave it", with consequences or sanctions for those who do not accept it. In this context, the Kosovar side must be at a level of cooperation and coordination with the international factor, otherwise Kosovo and its leadership will have numerous consequences", Makolli told GazetaBlic.com.
