Diplomacy failed to achieve what was needed for ten years.

Kosovo's diplomacy failed to fulfill its mission in the first jubilee of Kosovo's citizenship, even though there were some achieved. Lack of new recognitions in recent years, no membership in important organisations, such as U NESTO, other INTERPOL, extreme politicisation of diplomatic service and no co-ordination between [...]
Lack of new recognitions in recent years, no membership in important organisations, such as U NESTO, the other INTERPOL, the extreme politicisation of the diplomatic service and not co-ordination among the country's institutions, are problems that have conveyed Kosovo diplomacy for ten years of state.
Analysts and MPs estimate that it has been able to do more and that it has not been properly presented in the international arena.
Analyst Imer Mushkolaj tells Kosovo that the biggest achievements in Kosovo diplomacy have been thanks to the contribution of Kosovo's friendly states, and not so much because of the work of Kosovo diplomacy.
Mushkolaj cites the recognitions that have come for the state of Kosovo, where most international recognitions for Kosovo have occurred in the first years after independence, and it turns out they have been achieved, thanks to contributions made by the friendly states of Kosovo, such as the US, United Kingdom, France and Germany.
The lack of new recognitions, according to Mushkolaj, is the result of two problems -- Russia and Spain.
Because as far as Russia is concerned, we have not been recognized by the largest group of states that are with Russia. As far as Spain is concerned, we have not also been known by a large group of Latin - American states dealing with their alliances with Spain. Unfortunately, the most praiseless part of diplomacy has to do with diplomatic representation around the world. We know that diplomatic representatives wherever Kosovo has them are filled with non-professional people and militants. People who don't guarantee that we can have no new recognition, no decent representation in most cases. Of course, there are exceptions, but if Kosovo diplomacy can boast of something, then it can boast only of these undaunted and party employments, in embassies, in consulates around the world, but very little, or no, can boast of the contribution it has made, whether by bringing new recognitions, or by dynamic approach to membership Kosovo in international organisations”, Mushkolaj said.
Not happy with achievements in Kosovo diplomacy are MPs from political parties. Democratic Party of Kosovo MP Blerta Deliu-Codra estimates that a good job has been done, but not satisfactory in diplomatic service.
“As a new state, I consider that a job has been done, which needs to be assessed, but there should still be an intensifying, especially in the face of five EU states that have not yet recognised Kosovo. I consider we should have a great campaign to contribute to these states to improve these relations, but also to friendly states that have happened to vote against Kosovo's membership in regional and international mechanisms”, Deliu-Kodra stressed.
It also mentions a lack of coordination among diplomacy institutions, which, according to her, has also caused a lack of results.
There have been times when we haven't been very co-ordinated in terms of lobbiing as a state, there may have been individual commitment, but however, a better co-ordination within institutions, Government, the Parliament would intensify it to a large extent. It means that Kosovo would speak with one language in its international representation that would greatly empower the message”, she says.
Even independent deputy in the Kosovo Assembly, Korab Sejdiu, says what was needed in Kosovo diplomacy was not achieved. He cites two groups in which Kosovo diplomacy has stalled to achieve even greater success, whether in bringing more recognitions, membership in regional and international organisations.
I believe that we are not where we should be and that I had summed up these impasses into two groups or problems that our foreign policy has faced. The first was the loss of special cases where there could be a rapid development. As one of them, as an example, is the JND decision, where we have not entirely used in our favor one of the most important events that took place in the judicial aspect that is related to Kosovo's independence. While the second issue or the second grouping of impasses has had to do with the fact that our diplomacy has not been organised enough to exploit our friends and achieve success in their sphere of influence, whether the United States or Australia, on the side of the pacifist and the EU states that have their spheres of influence”, Sejdiu said.
Speaking of recognitions, Sejdiu says these two issues relate to recognitions because if these priorities of Kosovo were used, then there would be a lot of recognition in this jubilee. Even, he says he had hoped so far, Kosovo would have sufficient recognitions.
The first foreign affairs minister after declaring independence was Skender Hyseni, until Enver Hoxhaj, Hashim Thaci, was behind him again Enver Hoxhaj and is currently Behgjet Pacolli.
