Prishtina, 14 August (ARTA) 2115CET--

The publication of the list of the new negotiating group was evaluated differently by the political subjects in Kosova. The parties that are represented in this group, respectively the parliamentarian parties, give a complete support to this last initiative, since the President of the Republic himself initiated it. On the other hand, the non-parliamentarian parties claim that this decision of the Albanian leadership, presents a salvation for Milosevic.

The LDK vice-chairman, Naim Jerliu, explains the creation of the negotiating Group as "an action that once more proves the Albanian's side readiness to approach the solution of the Kosova problem using political means. The publication of this group, was currently also imposed as a need of the international community, to provide Kosova with its own negotiating group in order to start the negotiations with Belgrade, about which the international community was intensively engaged. However this also comes as a result of the disintegration of the former negotiating group", claimed Jerliu.

On the other hand, the vice-chairman of Kosova's Parliamentarian Party, Bajram Kosumi, emphasized that the creation of the new negotiating group is a very unexpected and unclear move. In a statement for "The Voice of America" in Albanian, Kosumi states that "I cannot understand, the influence and political connotation of the creation of a `G-15', then `G-4', and now after the disintegration of the both, the formation of another negotiating group. This group is composed of the people from one political wing, what's more, politicians with autonomous `mortgage'". In fact, the PPK vice-chairman thinks that "Rugova, has formed the group of one political wing, since he is no longer capable of forming a team that includes the entire Albanian political specter. Actually, he should understand that: the one who opposes more than the half of the people cannot represent the people".

The Albanian Christian Democratic Party of Kosova, in its public pronunciation, evaluates that "the announcement of the negotiating group, by the president, had to take place". The vice-chairman of this party, Veli Bytyçi, highlighted that "all of those interested for the well being of Kosova, should be inside this negotiating group, including the parties or other groups that were not presented yesterday or at least did not accept to participate in this negotiating group".

The steering board of UNIKOMB also expressed a harsh stand concerning the creation of the negotiating group. Its vice-chairman, Afrim Morina, discussing about the very difficult and decisive moments for the Kosova Albanian people, believes that "to give up the coalition Government, when for the first time we had the international support for such a step, is unforgivable, very dangerous and an added contribution for the disintegration in Kosova".
