Petrisch: Kurti must understand compromise with Belgrade is urgent and important

Petrisch says that the victory of Vetevendosje Movement in early elections had come as a result of satisfying citizens with old elites and corruption and nepotism.

I think Kurti's selection is evidence that the people of Kosovo are fed up with the old elites and corruption and nepotism”, Petrisch said, the Express newspaper, Pryskopi conveys.

The former diplomat says he hopes the new government in Pristina will be able to bring down the political system dominated by war-time figures and have a controversial past.

“Kurti based his campaign not only on foreign policy and reports with Belgrade, but also on the fight against corruption and nepotism, poverty, unemployment and organised crime”, Petrisch says.

However, the expert on circumstances in the Balkans says Kurti should be open towards finding a compromise in relation to dialogue with Serbia.

“I hope he succeeds, but he also needs to understand that finding an agreement with Belgrade and being open to a fair compromise is just as important and urgent”, Wolfgang Petrisch has launched. /Periscope
