Haradinaj is conditioned by the United States of America (SHBA) for suspending the 100% tax on Serbia and Bosnia, conditioning and demand these from the US for the only reason to start dialogue with Serbia and reach a final agreement between the two countries.
Even against Haradinaj now, sanctions and ultimatums from the U.S. have begun, he has refused the American visa a few days ago, after he asked to travel to the US to attend breakfast prayers in Washington DC.
That US requests to the Government of Kosovo and its chief are very serious, and the fact is that US Ambassador to Kosovo Philip Costet has held several meetings with the country's leaders and asked for public statements to suspend the tax 100%.
Kostett has said that if Kosovo wants to have reports with the US and good relations it needs to listen to these requirements it has put forward, if these conditions are not met it has revealed that relations between the two countries will be irritated.
The US National Security Council and the US State Department have formed their position days ago regarding current developments in Kosovo, respectively, the government-set tax and dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.
This firm stand by the American administration is summed up in eight main points:
1. “The tariff measures were taken without consulting the United States of America”
2. “We express the deep disappointment that after President Trump's letter to President Thaci, not only has there been no positive reflection on the Kosovo Government, but products subject to the fee“have been added.
3. “Request immediate suspension of the fee. The same fee can be restored if the agreement with Serbia --“fails.
4. The US support for Kosovo is not unconditional. Kosovo currently carries the burden of risking the failure of dialogue“.
5. “If the tariff is not urgently suspended, the US will suspend assistance in the field of security, so support for KSF“.
6. “The success and achievement of the agreement are not linked to Mrs. Federica Moghrini and the EU. Reaching the agreement is a strategic interest of the United States, so it is unacceptable for us to question this strategic goal on the part of the irresponsible actions of Kosovo leaders”.
7. If the agreement fails because of Kosovo, the burden of responsibility and the consequences will bear Kosovo itself, and individuals responsible for this failure“.
8. Kosovo's “with its irresponsible behavior is seriously risking friendship with US”.
Klan Kosova also has confirmed that at the request of the White House, this message has been forwarded to the five relevant state institutions of Kosovo through diplomatic channels.
