German media: Albin Kurti abandons Kosovo union with Albania

German-speaking media pay attention to recent developments in Kosovo following the Constitutional Court's decision that the election of the prime minister's government, Avdullah Hoti, was unconstitutional.

Renowned German newspaper Frankfurter Legendine Zeitung The FAZ under the title new elections in Kosovo writes that Kosovo is moving towards early elections following the Constitutional Court's decision. In the election of Avdullah Hoti as head of government, he had attended, according to the judges' conclusions, an MP, who was convicted of corruption. There is a 40-day deadline for holding early elections, writes FAZ.

And the newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung, under the title Albin Kurti, points out, that the leftist nationalist hopes to return to power in the new elections. “This moment awaits Albin Kurti since March. The Constitutional Court in Kosovo decided on Monday for new elections within 40 days. They can bring Albin Kurti back to power and his Vetevendosje party”, she writes.

The Swiss German - speaking newspaper pays attention to Albin Kurti's transformation as a politician. For a long time he stood out for radicality in style and content. Ethnicism made it for many foreign diplomats as persons. But things change: Prior to the motion of vote of confidence against the government, Kurti, Germany, France, as well as neutral Switzerland, even called on parliament to drop the motion. Even Kurt and his party have changed. This change is noted in political style. True, Kurti no longer wants Kosovo joining Albania. If asked about it, he says, citizens should have the right to vote on such a case.

Neue Zürcher Zeitung writes that Kurti in a second term will focus on domestic political topics. Establishing jobs and fighting corruption and clientelelymism would have priority, he says, but not dialogue with Serbia. However, he has clear requirements for Belgrade. Serbia must change constitution There is sanctioned that Kosovo is part of Serbian state territory The EU and US in the future need to speak with one language on the issue.

Under Joe Biden's new government, this could be done to analyze Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

The other German newspaper highlights that early elections are being sought in Kosovo, as the Constitutional Court declared the election of the government Hoti by parliament as invalid. An MP was not eligible for voting. This politician was at the moment of the vote sentenced to punishment that had entered into force because of corruption. In late September, he began suffering the punishment for which he was penalised, the paper writes. /Take from Theme/
