Kosovo has remained without ambassadors in Great Britain, in Sweden, in Belgrade ..., as it has begun the final phase of dialogue with Serbia and is on the verge of awaiting the big decision to abolish visas with the EU. This, without institutional responsibility, is not going through without consequences for the country, as 15 of Great Britain's deputies in the European Parliament voted against visa liberalisation.
Now when the final phase of dialogue with Serbia has begun, and when a few months separate us from the European Union Council of Ministers (BE)' decision to visa liberalisation Kosovo does not have ambassadors in some European decision-making centres, as well as regional ones.
The Kosovo Embassy in London has been without an ambassador for several months, just as it has remained in Sweden, writes further “Voice”.
Nor is the country's liaison office in Belgrade, with which Kosovo is entering a very important phase of dialogue, already without its boss.
Representatives from the opposition and civil society have said this is the responsibility of the Government and President Thaci, as trying to send party militants to Kosovo embassies have left some diplomatic representation without ambassadors.
That without institutional responsibility, they say, is not going through without consequences for the country, as 15 deputies of Great Britain in the European Parliament voted against visa liberalisation for Kosovo with the EU.
