He has said he does not know whether the reason for Kosovo's failure to join the Summit for Democracy, organised by United States President Joe Biden, is the decision by Kosovo authorities to cut off the project to build the gas infrastructure financed by the US National Government Challenge Corporation (MCC).
Kosovo, ironically, is such a young state, but is also one of the most powerful democracies in the Balkans, with a multiparty system, with free media, with a government fighting corruption and organised crime. And these actions are contrary to trends in the region. There are autocratic trends in Serbia. Kosovo cannot even be compared to the dysfunction in Bosnia”, Joseph told the rel.
In some cases, the lack of progress in the Kosovo dialogue has also been cited as one of the causes that may have prompted the expulsion of these two countries from the summit.
Why has there not been little progress in this process? This requires more clarification”, Joseph said.
According to him, Kosovo has met the required standard for democracy, as well as emphasised the fact that Kosovo is a country with powerful orientation towards the European Union, the United States and NATO.
And whoever participates in this Sam, the vows that participating countries should take on themselves are expected to be ambitious, including the economic country, the United States.
The summit is viewed as one of the U.S. President Joe Biden's main efforts to turn the country into the role of the global leader to confront Russia and China.
