(6 years ago)Albanian Deputy Foreign Minister Edith Harxhi in the studio of “ABC News” has spoken on charges against Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and Democratic Party of Kosovo leader Kadri Wessel. Harxhi said the Kosovo issue should not be compared to the fate of individuals, while added that Kosovo is facing one of the most [...] situations.
Harxhi said the Kosovo issue should not be compared to the fate of individuals, while added that Kosovo is facing one of the most difficult situations.
She added that the European Union has failed to grant visas to Kosovo and continues to show that Kosovo has not met the criteria.
She said there was no political will and that there is a great political divide for Kosovo's fate.
Kosovo's “issue is not a matter of individuals. As we have not previously linked with Ramush Haradinaj or other soldiers who have gone to The Hague. We should not compare the Kosovo issue with the fate of individuals. As we are going through the image of Kosovo has been violated, but the image of the president of Kosovo is also because it is institution”.
I believe both are in time to enjoy political careers after all legal procedures are completed. If we had confirmation of the prosecution I think he'd have to resign. But the political situation in Kosovo would be difficult. We have to go beyond the individual, because Kosovo is more important. Kosovo today is in one of the most difficult days. We should see the matter in its trueness. Serbia has been greatly factored. That for many reasons because we Albanians have forgotten the Kosovo issue, without the Kosovo issue being resolved, Albania will not be a functional state”.
The second of Albanian diplomacy during the interview told journalist Andrew Xhafo that Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti should not have cancelled participation in Washington.
I think Prime Minister Hoti should have participated in Washington, despite internal problems. At least he should be there, because it could be another victory for Kosovo. I have information that his decision was consulted. I believe the Paris Summit can be held, but I expect the Americans to give another date, as soon as it becomes clear in Pristina what will happen to the presidential institution. The two meetings don't seem complex, but they turned out to be agreed with each other”.
