German MP after criticism of Kosovo: Admittedly, she is trying to enforce her rights in her territory

yesterday's tense events in the country's north led to international reactions condemning the actions of Kosovo institutions.

German MP Knut Abraham, though justifying those reactions, he said that Kosovo's attempt to establish the law should also be forgotten.

“Despite all justifiable criticism of the actions of Kosovo authorities, must not be forgotten that a state is trying to implement its rights on its territory against numerous obstacles and influences from outside”, he wrote on Twitter.

Internationals have reacted immediately to developments yesterday. The first to react was United States Ambassador to Kosovo Jeffrey Havenier.

Hüvenier condemned the Kosovo state authorities' actions to introduce new mayors into municipal facilities.

The United States condemns actions that are continuing by Kosovo authorities to enter municipalities' objects in northern Kosovo. Today's violent measures must stop immediately”, Havenier wrote.

Shortly thereafter, American Secretary of State Antony Blinken reacted.

He wrote on Twitter that “strongly condemns the actions of the Kosovo Government”, which according to Blinken is escalating tensions in the north and increasing instability.

” Call on Prime Minister Albin Kurti to stop these violent measures immediately and to refocus on EU facilitated Dialogue”, Blinken's post says.

After the U.S. reactions, the states of QUINT have reacted through a joint communiqué.

QU The INT has called for Kosovo institutions to withdraw immediately, calm the situation and co-ordinate closely with EULEX and KFOR. They have condemned the attacks on EULEX in Zvecan and have also expressed their concern with Serbia's decision to establish military readiness.

The situation in the north has also reacted to the European Union. The EU has said “will not accept further unilateral or provocative moves”
