In it, US Ambassador Philip Costett speaks of the inefficient management of COVIID-19 by the Government of Kosovo and the fact that, among other things, embassy staff is threatened by aggressive wandering dogs. “In letter signed by ambassador [...]
In it, US Ambassador Philip Costett speaks of the inefficient management of COVIID-19 by the Government of Kosovo and the fact that, among other things, embassy staff is threatened by aggressive wandering dogs.
“In the letter signed by US Ambassador Philip Costett, it is said that the embassy in Pristina is “closer to the last touch”. Even before COVID-19, Kosovo is a difficult place to serve, with high air pollution, few green spaces, little opportunity for outdoor activities and poor infrastructure. Pristina even has ostensibly located “s of wandering dogs”, which may be “aggressive when searching for food”. For this and other reasons, the Embassy staff has largely closed within during the COVID-19” crisis, said the telegram.
Furthermore, it is said that the Embassy staff has been reduced, and those working have longer hours that have affected <x0 attacks of anxiety, chest pain, sleep loss” for some, as a worker described. “Interhuman conflicts within the embassy have been added”, said on paper.
There is criticism of Kosovo's government and people's approach to pandemic. “About 20% of embassy staff are infected with COVIDD-19, and the huge majority are local staff, which is indicator for inefficient control of the disease in Kosovo. Kosovo acts like a country that doesn't have cases with COVIID-19... but, Kosovo is a country destroyed by pandemic... In the US, if you don't put your mask on the public you can end up in viral videos, but in Kosovo you're likely to be trending in social media if you put your mask”, the telegram of Ambassador Costnet concludes.
