Haziri: We've met more Escobar than Kurt.

LDK Deputy Chairman Lutfi Haziri stresses that the concern expressed by Western and in particular US partners views it as based. The perspective of these concerns, he says, has to do with the lack of consensus in Kosovo regarding the EU proposal for normalising Kosovo-Serbia relations. But according to him, for the absence of this [...]

But, according to him, for the lack of this consensus, responsibility is mostly due to Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and President Vjosa Osmani, because, as he says, they have lacked commitment and political will to build consensus as broad as possible regarding major processes, in particular for dialogue with Serbia.

We're understanding the American role and attitude and we're told. We have had more meetings with the US emissar [for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar] than with the prime minister, and we have had meetings with the US ambassador [in Kosovo, Jeff Hovenier] than with the prime minister and president together. But this is the situation in which the LDK has revised and reformed [the position]. Basically, we haven't changed our report and attitude. The prime minister's stance has changed, Haziri says of Radio Free Europe.

Haziri adds that the LDK supports the dialogue process, but according to him, the prime minister has damaged the process because mutual recognition is no longer being discussed with Serbia. He emphasises that Prime Minister Kurti has not invited the opposition parties “to give clarification on what he has achieved, what are the difficulties and expectations regarding the EU's proposal for normalisation” and has not done so in the Kosovo Assembly, where he was invited to the motion.

At this point, according to him, the LDK cannot support Government regarding the EU proposal.

“How can this be done, unilateral? Tell us... well, the opposition react unilaterally and support Government on issues, which we don't know what they negotiated, what they promised and what they expect to accomplish in Ohrid? We haven't met yet. We have forced the prime minister to come and speak [in the Kosovo Assembly] with the motion, which is an urgent measure. But there is no normality and as long as there is no normality of this process, we do not believe it and the agreement is at the expense of Kosovo. This is... Point”, Haziri points out.
