Tahiri: VV failed, proved that it is neither of domestic nor international co-operation

Edita Tahiri, who once conducted talks with Serbia in Brussels, says the principle of reciprocity exists in all Kosovo agreements with Serbia at the time it was chief negotiator.

According to her, Kurti had to honour the reciprocity involved in those agreements, and that way no partnership with international allies would be violated.

In an interview for Kosovo Press, the former minister for dialogue says Vetevendosje lacks the culture of co-operation and has no diplomatic capacity to preserve international relations.

Speaking of the government's collapse and the efforts of political parties to form a new government, Tahiri says the Constitutional Court's decision should be expected and respected.

Tahiri says such political developments have not had to occur in times of pandemic, meanwhile, adding that there has been a lack of experience in government and that Vetevendosje has no tradition of co-operation.

Every government deserves 100 days to testify, but here was shown a lack of experience in government and the party that won the elections, Vetevendosje has not had a tradition of co-operation with other parties because they have been constantly positioned against everything, and this has been retaliatory to Vetevendosje when they came to govern with others because they lacked the culture of intergovernmental co-operation and lacked partnership culture, whether in the internal plan or the international plan. They were always focused on their campaigns, their collection of votes, but it's not enough in democracy to win votes, but then you have to have the ability to govern and see that they don't, I believe they will learn about the future”, Tahiri says.

The former chief negotiator in the talks with Serbia says Vetevendosje has not shown diplomatic capacity to cultivate and strengthen international relations.

According to her, previous platforms of this subject have then become an obstacle to effective governance.

“have been against the Brussels dialogue and then have not been able to call on the results of Brussels, but in politics things have to go with political wisdom and therefore one kind of swimming in international waters, this government cannot see that it has diplomatic capacity to cultivate and strengthen international relations. They're far away, I know they've never been in government and I understand, but those forward platforms they've had for votes, now they've turned you into obstacles to making effective government”, she says.

The former minister for dialogue says the government has had to be called on reciprocity issues in the Brussels accords that were signed at the time it led this process.

This principle exists in all the agreements that I was chief negotiator with the two governments, and Kurti would not conflict with the international factor either with America or America, if he told reciprocity involved in the agreements, because they are international agreements and would not violate partnership with Americans”, Tahiri says.

It also speaks of a thousand tests Serbia sends to Kosovo to take samples of persons suspected of being affected by coronarys, which it says Vetevendosje was not supposed to accept.

According to her, when it comes to humanitarian issues it should not be viewed political implications, but it says Vetevendosje once strongly opposed everything that came from Serbia.

“If we started from the doctrine of Vetevendosje and a popular banner of them, local products, the very word has had nothing taken away from Serbia, even while I was chief negotiator turned Serbia's trucks, came to Serbia's position to get these. This rather issue of theirs to see that it's not good to use machiavelism in extreme form and then return to boomerang, if I were in their country I never accepted because they had local products, so they fell against each other. When it's humanitarian issues, I think things should not be politicised”, she says.

Former editor-in-chief Edita Tahiri says that not political stability in Kosovo has been unnecessary at this time of facing the Codov-19 pandemic.

It says that attention has gone to power issues, moving away from the health of citizens in the fight against Coronobrus.
