George Deday: I have no religious agenda

Kosovo Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Gjergj Dedaj has said he is not afraid of the possibility of dismissal, following his statements that Kosovo should not join the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation.

In Info Magazine of Klan Kosova, he has stated it is important that the country follow the path of approaching west and that there must be clear and established courses in this sphere.

There have been misunderstandings and misinterpreting of my attitudes, trying to throw my stand on the religious plain. My position is in line with the national agenda and the Euro-Atlantic definition of Kosovo. Kosovo's priorities are NATO membership in the EU, in INTERPOL in EUROOPOL”.

I give this agenda priority and priority and support it with all my capacities, of course, to send the message that we have unique tolerance. This message of Kosovo citizens should be cultivated and respected”.

I am not called, nor is it in my mandate to religious agenda in Kosovo. I am not against recognition, rather I am a champion in Kosovo's independence lobby. If only that organization hadn't had its prefix Islamic It would be different. But when there's religious prefix, then it changes <x0.

I've heard that there are Russia, Mozambique and similar countries in this organization. But these are not the best” examples.

I didn't say, but I do. If Kosovo in any way becomes a member of religious organizations, be it Christian, be it Islamic, I immediately leave the post”.

I am not the deputy minister of Behgjet Pacolli, but of the Government of Kosovo. He could be today, he might not be tomorrow. Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and I am in the ruling coalition. That's why I don't mind, because somebody else can neither download me nor load me”.

We can't all be lovers. We can't be in the morning with America, afternoon with others. We should have it clear that neither the US nor NATO, nor the EU have been exiled to Kosovo because of religious affiliation”.

I don't deal with Behgjet Pacolli. Although I have received dozens of personal threats with radical Islamic access, but they will lead to the police. I separate traditional Islam from that radical. I don't deal with Guzim Kelmendi. At least I'm sorry to deal with someone of his level”

I am against the “, and I will strictly oppose Kosovo's membership in the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation”.
