Hoxhaj: Reciprocity hurts Kosovo, will make Serbia appear victim

Former Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj has charged the government in office that with the removal of the 100 per cent tax, it has damaged Kosovo in its report with Serbia.

In a Facebook text, Hoxhaj says tax removal on the part of incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti brings no benefit to Kosovo, except for meeting Kurti's ego and creating a false situation on the political scene in the country that he intends to abuse politically.

The prime minister and the self-designed government in the face of challenges and dismissed them from its accountability, removed the tax on goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This decision has been made with political uncertainty, without co-ordination with strategic allies and without any international benefit for Kosovo.

The initial idea of the tax was for Serbia to stop the campaign against recognising Kosovo. Such a condition is no American support.

Albin Kurti, from the formation of the new government until a week ago, has been reluctant to remove the tax in co-ordination with Washington.

Instead, he deliberately provoked an artificial political crisis that resulted in his dismissal. The decision he made yesterday in the dark of the night and in the dark of responsibility for tax removal, I see as provocation, now in relation to our allies and with all parliamentary political forces in Kosovo.

Such a decision brings nothing in the political and international respect for Kosovo, except the fulfillment of Mr. Kurti and the creation of a false situation on the political scene instead of which he intends to abuse politically. He made a political decision from which Kosovo has won nothing.

He gave up without a result of taxes and without co-ordination with Americans. Nor did he stop Serbia's campaign against recognition of Kosovo, nor did he achieve membership in any international organisation, and no commitment was made to obtain visa liberalisation.

Albin Kurti promised to establish a full political, economic and trade reciprocity. But he didn't. He applied a kind of half vague and creative reciprocity that will only harm Kosovo internationally and make Serbia appear victim.

The political maturity of a government is not measured by strong words and social networking preferences.

It has to do with the ability and way to resolve specific issues in the country's interest. When the political situation is complicated, it is not right for the outgoing government to complicate it further. But this is happening! False and half-procity brings nothing to Kosovo. How much more, you risk American support for Kosovo!

Albin Kurti must stop his selfish and risky plans, especially in relation to the United States, but also with parliamentary parties in Kosovo. They are damaging our position in the international community and our social and democratic cohesion.

As I was about to remove the tax first, today I'm against imposing reciprocity!
