Swiss media: The EU has cheated Thaci for the Special Court, now he is embarrassed

“The Associations of KLA veterans want parliament to decide once again for the establishment of the Special Court for their crimes, and there is no doubt that it will collect the necessary 10,000 signatures,” said at “Neue Zurcher Zeitung”.

In the review of Andreas Ernst, a Belgrade newspaper correspondent and one of the best experts in the Balkans among journalists writing in German, it is said that veterans have received help from President Hashim Thaci himself, reports “b92”, the Periscope broadcast. He said the European Union has made great efforts to form a court.

It was Thaci in 2015, with great concern, that he convinced his party in parliament to accept the establishment of a court that begins this year in The Hague.

It's time, Thaci adds, to end some foreign missions that leave the impression that Kosovo is an immature country.

He explained that Western embassies had given him the promise that if the Court was established, visa liberalisation and a guarantee to form their army would be realised.

But the West, he says, has broken his word. The EU Office denies the existence of such an agreement.

“More logical is another explanation for Thaci's frustration: Kosovo is in full political blockades. Ten years after declaring independence, the state is still unfinished, and international recognition has not been fully finalised within the EU”, writes Ernst.

As a condition for visa liberalisation, it continues to demarcation with Montenegro, as well as an agreement on normalisation with Serbia. “There is widespread opposition to the agreed deployment of the Serbian Communists Association that many Kosovars see as refusing to be a dangerous foreign body on their territory”.

The inability of Kosovo politicians to bridge the gap and offer the West a constructive partner has caused many European capitals to change the meaning of the Kosovo issue, which has evaporated the image of the province that is breaking Belgrade. It almost always shows that they are at least able to speak to their mentors and are now becoming more and more visible. Negative feelings in capitals also spark the EU mission in Fiji, which, despite large financial resources, neither politically nor economically placed the country on its feet,” says Ernst.

“In Kosovo, nationalist politicians celebrated the seventh anniversary of independence in February 2015 with big words, but at the same time tens of thousands of Kosovars crossed the Serb-Hungarian border to take their way to Germany and escape misery in their country. Serbia has brought little to Kosovo in 2008. He is not a member of the UN, five EU countries refuse recognition and lack of sovereignty is indicated in the fact that without the help of KFOR troops and the EU legal mission, internal security, police and judiciary cannot function. For more than half of Kosovars live in extreme poverty, youth unemployment rates are about 60 percent,” writes “Suddeutsche Zeitung”./Periscopi/
