(3 years ago)Former British diplomat Timothy Less believes that in the eyes of Western diplomats, Kosovo is seen as the main obstacle to resolving the problem with Serbia in the north. Less said internationals see both sides' refusal of compromise as a problem and the solution, he says, see it in the use of sanctions or obligation to Kosovo. If Kosovo [...]
Researcher at the Centre for Geopoliticals at Cambridge University says combining Kosovo and Serbia's positions brought this situation to the north, but stresses that the outbreak of violence follows a year of increasing tension. The “West then pissed both sides off and especially Kosovo ʹ by proposing a plan that crosses the corresponding red lines”, Les says. Consequently, he says both sides reacted by trying “to create new facts on the ground in the north”.
The recent position of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the fact that the two new northern leaders from the Vetevendosje Movement did not meet US Ambassador Jeffrey Havenier, according to the former diplomat, show that “relations between Washington and Pristina have fallen to the most historic level”, which he describes as a “strategic disasters for Kosovo”.
Les says that Kurti's Government is now in question whether it will ultimately succeed in trying to integrate the north into the rest of Kosovo or if it will withdraw on the matter of mayors, which he says would be an admission that it cannot achieve that goal.
