Ambassador Citaku: I'll leave because I realize I'm unwanted

Citaku, who is highly praised for her submissions to the UN Security Council in front of Serbia, says she has not even consulted such a thing but will leave without even waiting to be protected by the presidency.

“As ambassador I have been appointed through political keys. I've said that many times before, and it's quite natural that the Government of Kosovo will seek my replacement. However, I will not allow myself to become meat for a ball in the battle between Government and Presidency.

Furthermore, she has added that she will co-operate with the country's new ambassador or ambassador.

The following is the full response of Chitak on Facebook:

Hello from Washington,

A few hours ago, at the same time as publishing the news on Facebook, I've accepted email notice of the application through which Foreign Affairs Minister Mr. Glauk Konjufca has asked Kosovo President for my departure from office as ambassador of the Republic of Kosovo to the US.

Of course, I will respect the Government requirement of the Republic of Kosovo.

Although I understand that legally only the president of Kosovo has the right to appoint and dismiss ambassadors of the Republic of Kosovo, it is enough for me to have already been widely known, that I am unwanted.

However, I believe I have deserved a preliminary consultation regarding the proposal in question.

As ambassador I have been appointed through political keys. I've said that many times before, and it's quite natural that the Government of Kosovo will seek my replacement. But I will not allow myself to become meat for a ball in the battle between Government and Presidency.

In this transitional period, I will try to fulfill all responsibilities, just as I have done every time.

I hope the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo will quickly agree to my successor.

Ambassador/Ambassor to come after me, will offer my full and unhurt cooperation.

I have had the special honor and privilege of serving three prime ministers and two presidents with honor and responsibility.

In the United States, I represented Kosovo as I knew best.

My inspiration has always been and will remain the citizens of Kosovo, whom I represented in Washington. My message in the American capital was exactly the echo of their history of recovery.

There is no life ambassador. Eternal is only Kosovo and service to it.
