The presidency reasons Thaci's half million payments for meeting with Trump

This was done in April by lobbyist Brian Ballard, one of the people close to Trump, who through his company “Ballard Partners”, received over half a million euros from the Kosovo Presidency.

President Hashim Thaci's office has indicated what a meeting between the two presidents is required.

“Logging into powerful states is necessary for a new state like Kosovo, given the fact that we are still in consolidation as state”.

So this company helps not only deepen bilateral relations, attract investments, keep U.S. administration attention to Kosovo and our state priorities, but also helps our efforts to promote the international arena” are said to respond to the president's office for Insiderin.

The tender for Kosovo, Ballard has reported it to the Department of Justice, as he is therefore legally obligated.

He showed that on April 20th there was a brief meeting with Trump, while he was spending the week at Mar-A-Lago. Ballard has spoken to him about relations with Kosovo, even mentioning Kosovo Ambassador Vlora Citaku's request, about the possibility of a meeting between the two presidents Thaci -Trump.

This was a brief part of a brief conversation, but the demand for publication is required by us to report this February”, Ballard said in an interview.

“Ballard Partners”, in December, was selected as a lobby company by the Kosovo President's Office. The contract between the state of Kosovo and Brian Ballard company weighs 517 thousand and 198 euros.

The contract release proves that the president's office had declared the company a winner “Ballard Partners”, led by Brian Ballard, without having an open tender for lobby engagement. Ballard's company has been the only contender, through negotiated/closed procedure.

The Office for Information of the Presidency has shown that this Florida-based American company, with its experience and contacts, will support Kosovo institutions' initiatives for meeting in the past, helping create a new dynamic in the reconciliation process.

It will also help modernise and transform KSF into a multiethnic force and implement joint anti-terrorism efforts. Also, this American company will assist Kosovo in deepening bilateral co-operation between Kosovo and the United States, expanding bilateral and multilateral relations, economic development and security, promoting trade investments, etc.”, it is said in response to the President's Office.
