Haradinaj says European Union is silent against Serbia's actions

The European Union's silence over Serbian Prime Minister Anna Brnabyq's letter to other countries' counterparts to withdraw Kosovo state recognitions has prompted Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj to react.

At a media conference held after the government's meeting, Haradinaj has called on top EU representative Federica Moghrini and Commissioner Johannes Hahn to react to Serbia's actions.

He has recalled how loud the EU was to forward the 100 per cent tax on Serbia's products, where he has repeatedly demanded that Kosovo attract it, while adding that this is the EU's responsible approach to the current situation.

The Brnabyq prime minister's “Lerra, where she addresses the prime ministers of states to attract the recognitions they have made to Kosovo, is unacceptable. This is evidence not only of our right to tax but of other decisions. I'm very surprised at the silence of Mrs. Moghrin, other commissioners, Hahn of all other EU officials, for silence of this letter. This is neither in the spirit of dialogue nor EU membership. This is against dialogue, against the European perspective of our region and appeals to, appeal to EU leaders not to be silent because this silence has brought about the work we are currently”, Haradinaj said.

Asked whether the restructuring of the border could be at the negotiating table in Brussels, despite controversial positions with President Hashim Thaci, Haradinaj said he does not want to talk about mending the border.

As far as the president's statement about uniting the Presevo Valley with Kosovo is concerned, he said it is in all respects with the preshevars, but stressed that these two issues are not the same.

“Love towards our people in Presevo is human, it is Albanian, as is Belgrade's official love for Kosovo Serbs, but we are not talking about the same things, about the same non”, he said.

The prime minister also spoke of a government concept of game games of fate, where he has clarified that Kosovo aims to establish order for the latter as well.

According to him, the games of fate are everywhere in Kosovo and must be stopped through a legal basis, so there is no chaos. According to him, this is never done by legitimizing chaos.

Maybe the law really said it would increase (the number of casinos). But the truth is a little different. What the Government and Kosovo target is to rule by law what these fortune games are, as long as they are, will there be. So it's not a point to increase gambling employment... If anyone's intended to grow by law, I'm against”, he said.
