Editor Let's suspend the tax, it represents the bitterness of political elite failures

Republic of Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, in co-ordination with government partners, was charged with the fee of 100% goods imported from Serbia. That happened in November last year, when our country had failed for the third time to join Interpol because of Serbian propaganda, since diplomacy chief Pacolli was named dirty.

The tariff in question, taking into account the increased aggression of Serbian foreign policy, could be deemed right in principle. Small countries, however, are unable to operate by principle, with their heels missing. Kosovo, therefore, needs to be in co-ordination with major international allies. No dice!

But stop at Interpol. Kosovo did not fail to join this organisation alone. She had failed to join the U. NESTO, with votes against even countries that had recognised the country's independence. Thus, we cannot be naive and say we did not expect a Serbian war last November. No. In establishing the tax, where all the leaders were profe [we believe President Thaci] can also note the accumulated resentment over successive failures and the tendency to justify.

Everything was ready for the party. Tens of local journalists were in Dubai along with President Thaci, scandalous top diplomat Pacolli and others. We failed spectacularly!

And so, it's about what people are familiar with as a 100% tax. Viewed from this perspective, this tax emerges more as a non-visionary policy of our political elite and their psychology of losers to Serbia than as a national policy out of society.

So far, Kosovo society has virtually refused to boycott products imported from Serbia at any political moment. Thus, logic within the 100% tax, although seemingly widely supported by it, actually reflects the traumatic logic of our political elite. And as such, it must be removed because it eventually proved to be a serious threat to our friendship with the United States.

On the other hand, the strongest country in the world to support us has significantly reduced its support even before this tax on the international plain. The decline in recognition of the country has prompted the halting of their lobby, then the tightening to negotiate unconditionally and toleration of added Serbian aggression are among the owners of this smooth policy. Finally, the fact that they are willing to break up with Kosovo the cause of 2% of the Serbian expedition [a percentage point of the neighbouring country's total export measure] shows that things are worse in an unimaginable amount several years ago.

The new US Ambassador, Philip Costnett, has said that Kosovo has the right to behave as an independent state, but that it must be willing to suffer the consequences for its decisions. Open threat!

But, on the other hand, this aggressive policy towards Kosovo could translate into insisting that the frozen conflict with Serbia once and for all. Perhaps diplomacy is not as straight as we can imagine, within a country that has no tradition in foreign politics.

Currently, it is clear to anyone that Kosovo should remove the tax, but at one time better understand the nature of politics, and in particular diplomacy. Serbian diplomacy chief Ivica Dacic said of the early Serbian media that the international tax response has given the Cold “dus” power in Pristina. That reminds you of Prime Minister Haradinaj's response to the question of why he had taken certain actions described as scandalous: “mou has whims”. We can conclude that there was no preconception in this decision, no matter how right it might seem.

What if the unreasonable tax maintenance is an uncooperative action from inside and outside, so a prime minister's next shot? That it will cost our country heavily if Haradinaj doesn't withdraw within a predetermined term, it won't comment. And that would make Haradinaj's support for the tax return to boomerang, to immediate and substantial political devaluation. The people are fickle. It changes sides. His political reaction is unregulated, but unregistered.

So let's suspend him!
