(5 years ago)Politico, the prestigious American newspaper, has released a list of states that have received an invitation from America for the Democracy Summit to be held in December of this year. A total of 100 states are found on this list, but not even our beloved country, Kosovo. It seems that neither the congratulations on the anniversary of [...] victory.
Nor does it seem that the happiness of President Biden's victory anniversary by Albin Kurti, our prime minister, has been enough for the United States to see our country warmly.
Political affairs analyst and civil society activity, Agon Maliqi, has made a response to the issue.
Maliqi has written on Facebook that Kosovo's non-involvement at the Democracy Summit is a bad signal for the level of relations, and that should be read as an alarm bells.
Better free people. This is according to a report by Polytico map of countries in Europe to which the US has submitted an invitation for participation at the Democracy Summit in December. Kosovo's non-involvedness is a very bad signal for the level of relations and should be read as alarm bell”, Maliqi wrote.
American President Joe Biden will organize a “Sam for Democracy” on December 9th and 10th, in which heads of state, representatives of civil society, private sector and philanthropists will be invited to attend, the White House announced on Wednesday.
The summit is scheduled to be held online.

“The summit will promote commitments and initiatives on three main topics: promoting human rights, protecting authoritarianism and fighting corruption”, the White House statement said.
President Biden plans that a year after this summit also organise a meeting with physical presence so that commitments are discussed.
The White House announcement does not provide details about the list of guests at the summit, which is viewed as a G20 alternative and a challenge to China.
The G20 group consists of the most powerful economic countries in the world, including authoritarian regimes such as China and Saudi Arabia.
The G20 representatives will meet in Italy at the end of October.
Beden has said that the “sfide of our time is to prove that democracies can deal with improving people's lives by addressing the biggest problems facing the world.
The White House said the summit is “an opportunity for world leaders to talk about the challenges facing democracy, to listen to each other and their citizens, as well as to promote international co-operation”.
