Meetings in New York except for photos, no diplomatic agenda

Thus, it has praised in a pronouncement for Telegrafi, Life Krasniqi from KDI, which emphasises that Kosovo diplomacy must build a literal lobby strategy for promoting the state of Kosovo and supporting its interests.

KDI representative Krasniqi said the Kosovo leadership is witnessing political immatureness in building friendships and international support.

“What is even more disturbing and serious on this visit to the Kosovo delegation in New York is that Kosovo leaders have gone to the United Nations General Assembly without a unique attitude about Kosovo's most important issue, dialogue with Serbia. President Thaci and Prime Minister Haradinaj have different positions about overhauling the borders as part of a potential agreement with Serbia. The Kosovo leadership is witnessing political immatureness in building international friendships and support by articulating different interests and attitudes of the state of Kosovo, and therefore lack of the seriousness of the state of Kosovo. Since Kosovo's stance is being articulated by these leaders, who behave independently of each other, do you think they represent different states”, she added.

Krasniqi praises the UN General Assembly week as a good opportunity, since for Kosovo that is not a member of the UN, it may have the opportunity to meet representatives of many friendly states and states that still do not recognise Kosovo.

Kosovo's “Diplomacy should build a literal lobby strategy for promoting the state of Kosovo and supporting its interests, where the goals that Kosovo diplomacy aims at and the way of building international support for achieving these” would clearly be defined, she has said.

According to her, Kosovo leaders were expected to go to New York with a real plan and a serious agenda of meetings, not an ad hoc and amateur diplomacy.

She said these meetings are turning more into goals for photo postings on social networks for internal daily consumption.

“These meetings are turning more into goals for photo postings on social networks for internal consumption daily to promote the meetings conducted, in certain cases, by returning to even ridiculous situations and diplomatic incidents by compromising the very image of Kosovo state diplomacy”, Krasniqi said.

Otherwise, President Hashim Thaci, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, and Foreign Affairs Minister Behgjet Pacolli are staying in the US for the work of the UN General Assembly, which began on Tuesday, where 140 world leaders are participating.
