Stein said the strong statement by the UN, where alarm signals were issued and Kosovo's current actions were condemned, is an indication that the red line has been crossed by Prime Minister Kurti.
The expert stressed that Kosovo at the moment does not need an Oso Kuke, but an Ismail Kemal, as unilateral actions would lead to a full international isolation.
The moment Anthony Blinken says that he strongly condemns the actions of the Kosovo government, which have unnecessarily escalated tensions in the north, undermining our efforts in normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia, and that there will be consequences for our bilateral relations”.
You know what that means? This is beyond warning! You know how rarely the State Department uses, such expressions as “severely condemn the actions of a government”, in cases when North Korea is conducting nuclear tests. This language can be used in private meetings, but if a public statement of this tone is made, you have crossed a red line here. This statement was not sent by an international organisation or by an NGO, but was sent by the US State Department. So that's where it should be pointed at the head. Kosovo does not need Oso Kuka, Kosovo needs Ismail Kemali. This kind of approach leads to isolation”, Steun said.
