Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has faced some difficult questions, during an interview on Deutsche Welle's “conflict area” show.

One of the world's most popular journalists for tough interviews, Tim Sebastian, has asked the Kosovo executive chief how he can trust the European Union in the future Kosovo, when it is not respecting international obligations.

You're playing games with the Court, threatening to turn your back on the demarcation, and you still want the EU to help you. You're complaining that you're from five EU countries, you're calling it Kurdep. How can they trust you in the future, as the EU can help you when you respect international obligations?

The first of the Kosovo government has said Kosovo is expecting that several years' recognition by several EU states, which have yet to do so.

We're expecting some years to recognize us. Our challenges are getting bigger because of this” situation, Haradinaj has responded, broadcast Gazeta Express.

“The EU cannot communicate with us as a partner. When I'm in Brussels, the Kosovo flag is there”, it is expressed.

Haradinaj has stressed that relations between Kosovo and the EU have started long before the problem with ratification of demarcation emerged

Our relations with the EU are earlier. Unfortunately, I think the EU has paid enough attention to the region and Kosovo itself”, he said.

I do not blame the EU for our tasks, but I request that all EU countries have a similar approach to Kosovo”, Haradinaj has declared.

But the answer is very impressive to the journalist. If you accept the rules of this club you want to join, why join?

We accept rules, logic, EU principles. We are working hard for internal cohesion, for co-existence of all communities, for rule of law, for economy and for lasting peace”, the Kosovo executive chief has responded.

“We are in Europe, left open issues, unregulated work, from Europe and America”, Haradinaj said later.

Too many problems related to the EU's readiness to move forward”, he has estimated.

“We are responsible against Europe”, the Kosovo prime minister has said.

Earlier, Haradinaj has also talked about visa liberalisation.

The EU will punish politicians, but citizens are not to blame, he said.

The prime minister has also been asked about the Special Court.

He has said he does not believe the initiative of 43 Kosovo Assembly deputies will succeed in abolishing the Special Court.

The prime minister declared that the Court exists, and it is not questioned.

He has stressed that she does not fear him personally, and that he is willing to give up if an accusation arises against him.
