Is Russia interfering in Kosovo elections? Putin's congressional ally, Dana Rohrabacher, is the mentor of Princeton Sadriut. Vjosa Osman's husband- Sadriu served as Congressman Rohrabacher's assistant. Both Vjosa and Princeton Sadriu have a very close relationship with Dana Rohrabacher. Rohrabacher has advanced Russian interests in Kosovo, broadcast RTK.
Friend and mentor of the Sadriu family
Vjosa Osmani- Sadriu is a senior official of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and a party candidate for prime minister in early elections scheduled for October 2019. Her husband is Prondon Sadriu, a senior official at the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The couple married in December 2012.
The Prime Minister's diplomatic promotion (a promotion influenced by nepotism charges) was appointed Director for Bilal Relations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in July 2008. Prior to that, from 2006 to 2007, he worked for the US House of Representatives as Assistant Republican Representative Dana Rohrabacher.
Working at Congress in the United States was a wonderful experience that leaves a lasting sign of”, said Princeton Sadriou in 2018. Indeed, Rohrabacher and Sadriu have maintained very close relationships.
According to Vjosa Osmani (self-declared as a friend and supporter of Dana Rohrabacher), the congregist has often met with Princeton in recent years.
The Kremlin champion
In general, such a relationship with an American representative would be useful for a candidate for prime minister, especially in Kosovo, one of the most pro-American countries in the world. But Dana Rohrabacher is not just a friend of the Sadriu family. He is mainly friend of Putin's Russia. And Russia is by no means friendly with Kosovo. Dana Rohrabacher used his position as chairman of the European Foreign Affairs Chamber Subcommittee (an important body overseeing politics towards Europe, including Russia), to push Russian interests forward. He defended Russia's explosion in Georgia in 2008 (https://www.Telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eurosia/2827424/Rebel-Republican-Congressman-Dana-Rohrabacher-Russia-over-Georgia.html(www.nytimes.com/Cremlin -finds-a-prejuger-in-congress)
Rohrabacher rejected sanctions and lobbied to abolish the Magnitsky Act, which imposed penalties for oligarchs and Russian officials charged with corruption and human rights abuses. Rohrabacher proposed a change to strike the name of Russian martyred lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a global anti-corruption bill, supporting the Russian version of the events (alleging that Magnitsky was not a accuser but a thief).
Rohrabacher used private memorandums provided by Russia in his fight against the Magnitsky Act and his descendants Global Magnitsky. He travelled to Moscow, met with Putin's faithful and accepted documents from Russian officials. www.politico.com/putin-congress-rohrabacher
A dedicated pro-Putinist
Rohrabacher met with Russian agents in Moscow, St Petersburg and Washington. The conventioner had several meetings with Maria Butina, who later admitted guilt in an American court on the charge of plotting to act as a foreign agent. (abcnews.go. com/ussia-bis-bis-calif-congressman-knowd-accused-ruse). In 2017 he dined with Butina's associate, Alexander Torsh, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, who has been linked to Russian security services and organised crime.

Called “Russia's favourite congregist”, Dana Rohrabacher fought side by side with Vladimir Putin in the 1990s. Putin's “Mussses remember Rohrabacher they're simply incredible”. In Rohrabacher's words, Putin “is a strong man and he's supposed to be a strong man, that's what the Russian people want”.

A Russian Wealth
Rohrabacher has been under severe investigative and political control for his proximity to Russia. He became so valuable to the Kremlin that the FBI warned him Russian spies were trying to recruit him as a spy. (www.newsweek.com/dana-rohrabacher-putins-preparite-congressman)
When I was listening to it, I felt like I was looking at RT, Russian Television”, once described a Democrat Congresswoman. The Republicans questioned his judgment and intentions. In 2017, Republican majority-time leader Kevin McCarty registered saying he believed Rohrabacher was paid by Putin. After 15 mandates in Congress, Dana Rohrabacher has been turned into an outcast in Washington, “the heritage of moral corruption” (www.wasingtonpost.com/a-not-so-fund-allwell-to-dana-rohrabacher-putins - best friend conflict) Rohrabacher's Russian support forced him to face early elections, and in November 2018, he lost his place at Orange County California.
But Dana Rohrabacher has also been an agent for Russian interests in Kosovo. This raises a big question about Vjosa Osman's candidacy: Is Russia interfering in Kosovo elections?
