Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Gjergj Dedaj has openly opposed Behgjet Pacolli in trying to have Kosovo join the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OBI).
All their clashes are being carried out with statements on social networks, where Dedaj wrote that Kosovo should be part of the EU, NATO, UN, UNESCO, but not OBIA.

This reaction by Deday has come a few minutes after Pacolli announced he has gone to Bangladesh to lobby for Kosovo's membership in OBI.
From my visits to specific Asian states, I arrived in Daka, Bangladesh, where I am participating in the 45th Minister of Islamic Co-operation Organisation”, as a guest of my counterpart, Pacolli, from Bangladesh.
Despite Pacolli and Deday working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there are major differences in state membership in international mechanisms.
According to Dedaj, OBI membership is harmful and should not happen.
“The Kosovo Government's efforts, for Kosovo's membership in the Islamic World Organisation (OBI), a hasty and harmful step that endangers, violates and neglects the Euro-Atlantic provision of the Republic of Kosovo”, Dedaj wrote.
OBI numbers 57 member states, most of which are countries with Islamic states, and some extend to the Middle East, North, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and South America. The official languages of OKI are Arabic, English and French. This organization is presented as the general representative of Islamic outlooks in the world.
Despite that, Pacolli has continued his visit to Bangladesh and participation in the conference of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation and has met the country's prime minister.
Local Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina opened the conference, attended by dozens of foreign ministers from member countries, observers, etc. I met with many counterparts, aimed at recognising Kosovo, expanding friends for membership in Interpol, etc. Among them I met Canada's foreign minister, where 1.5 million Muslims live. “kin trust in our support that we are friends of Kosovo”, Kristia Freeland” told me, Pacolli wrote.
Deputy Prime Minister Pacolli, in addition to problems with Deday, has had to do with other Deputy Prime Minister Anton Berisha. Even the latter had issued charges against his chief in the ministry that institutions should not be exploited and treated as private property.
