In the late 1980s, Ramush Haradinaj was known as the White League in Leysin, where he worked in the wood builder and Melly trained him in martial arts. After 25 years of fog, the KLA's most famous commanders and prime minister for a short time between December 2004 and March 2005, before experiencing a long legal war crimes leg in The Hague, from which the 47-year-old leader was already leader of the main opposition party in Pristina, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) in 2012. As such, it clearly does not spare words against the government of Isa Mustaf and Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci.

Question: What is the situation in Kosovo?

Ramush Haradinaj: Bad. Corruption is everywhere, people have no jobs, education has degraded, as well as the health system. Instead of dealing with these, our prime minister is photographed in Brussels with his counterpart. The elected officials should be responsible and accountable. But today's government is neither responsible nor working.

Question: Internationally?

Ramush Haradinaj: The Balkans are not closed issue. Continued holding open issues, such as not recognising Kosovo on Serbia's part, leaves no room for normal politics. It's in the hands of people who play with stability. US and Europe must close these open issues in the Balkans. So people will be able to deal with concrete problems.

Question: How do citizens react?

Ramush Haradinaj: There is great inadequacy and tremendous pressure. People are tired of this government that creates tragic situations and forces thousands of people to leave the country.

Question: Are you worried about revolts like in 2004?

Ramush Haradinaj: This danger exists, so the opposition must play its role and assume responsibilities as the requirement for early elections.

Question: Listening to you, 15 years were lost because of the political class. Right?

Ramush Haradinaj: Yeah, you can say that.

Question: What do you say to those who describe Kosovo as a state in mafia hands that is involved in all forms of trafficking, including organs?

Ramush Haradinaj: My country is paying the price because of the lack of powerful institutions after the war. I don't believe organ trafficking, but I can't deny trafficking in drugs, prostitution. Therefore, we want to strengthen institutions. There is also a state of propaganda, like Serbia, that has their own agenda to denigrate Kosovo. What is necessary is to create the atmosphere against crime, and social mobilization provides alternative.

Question: If you return to power, what will be your priorities to develop the country?

Ramush Haradinaj: We have three sectors of great potential: energy, agriculture and mining. I would put my efforts here. The food industry can create many jobs. You should also seek expertise from the diaspora. For example, there are very strong ties between Switzerland and Kosovo on which we could depend on developing trade and facilitating business deployment.

Question: Is EU membership still your goal?

Ramush Haradinaj: Yeah, sure.

And, reunion with Albania, your constitution stops?

Ramush Haradinaj: This constitution is set at some time, but it can change...
