How Haradinaj prevented Kosovo's partition project, searching for US in dialogue

“Whoever is talking about borders, territories, or any correction of my country, is our enemy”, was one of the known statements to Ramush Haradinaj was opposed to partitioning Kosovo.

In September 2017, Ramush Haradinaj was elected Kosovo Prime Minister. As soon as he took up his new post and still did not get well in his office, the first problems began. A danger was facing Kosovo and it would face an unusual problem for a prime minister of a sovereign state.

It's about the division project. Kosovo, or territorial exchange with Serbia as preferred to be called. The idea was initially vague, and it was discussed mainly on the walls of offices The EU. Haradinaj had noted the first signs that something with harmful potential was being prepared as a shortcut to closing the frozen conflict. Kosovo - Serbia.

The first clash had with former High Representative EU, Frederica Moghrini, an EU bureaucratic official who succeeded dialogue between the two states was seen primarily through the mire of her career, decontacting the entire past and historic right of Albanians Kosovo.

Prime Minister Haradinaj, seeing that Mogherin was negotiating an untransparent agreement, would make an unexpected decision to prevent the process of this agreement. He imposed a 100% tax on Serbian goods, grieving President Vuciq, who immediately suspended Serbia's participation in the dialogue.

The tax became the cause of numerous clashes later, in and out of the country. Unstopable pressure on Prime Minister Haradinaj to remove the tax, the charge that he is breaking relations with internationals, but he was steadfast in his decision and seems to know clearly what he was doing and where he wanted to come up.

By late 2018, Haradinaj had travelled to Brussels to meet with Mogher and EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn. As understood months later, the pressure of Moghrin and Hahn had been great for Haradinaj to lift the tax on Serbian goods.

This had caused their joint conference to be held before journalists to be cancelled. Likewise, Haradinaj had berated two EU officials for secret talks on touching borders Kosovo.

“Let me say, as Government Prime Minister Kosovo, that I strongly oppose idea of partitioning Kosovo. This will only lead to new tragedies in the Balkans. Whoever is talking about borders, territories, or any correction of my country, is our enemy”, he said. Haradinaj in The EU.

Haradinaj had estimated that the process of normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia had achieved minimal successes, and was completely out of track.

Viewing this situation insensitive to Kosovo by officials The EU, Haradinaj, would launch a new diplomatic battle, calling for Mogher's withdrawal from the dialogue because of its intentions of a harmful deal.

Likewise, Haradinaj, began to seek US involvement in dialogue, as a way to save the country from any eventual agreements where borders would be affected.

Haradinaj would then accuse Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama of involvement in the issue, saying he had devised a secret agreement with the Serbian president.

Time has proved the danger to be real, though the danger was averted with US involvement in dialogue.
