Ramadan: Presence of criminal groups in the north is powerful

So you assess the situation in this part of the country, former Kosovo Intelligence Agency Chief-in-chief (AKI), Burim Ramadani.

Ramadani, at the same time, was the deputy defence minister in a proposal for Front Online, says rule of law in northern Kosovo is pale.

The security risks in the north are serious. The North is destabilized. Concerns about the possibility of escalation of the security situation are legitimate concerns. The rule of law in the part of municipalities in northern Kosovo is dim to the level of existing the same demand that “achieve at least maintain security stability”! This demand, as is daily, is both unfair and impossible at its depths.”

Ramadani says stability in the north is impossible due to continued interventions by Serbia.

The former defence minister considers Serbia's criminal acts for intervention in the country's north aimed at paralysing democratic processes.

The request for the north only to maintain security stability is impossible due to Serbia's direct, sustained, criminal and political intervention, with the aim of paralyzing democratic processes. Until this intervention of Serbia and Russia stops, maintaining security stability remains deeply challenged”.

Ramadan: Presence of criminal groups in the north is powerful

Former Chief Inspector of the Kosovo Agency for Intelligence (AKI), Burim Ramadani, at once former/Sv. defence minister, said the presence of criminal groups now in the north is powerful.

He says municipalities in the north are going through stage of general political stalemate.

The “municipalities in northern Kosovo are going through the overall political stalemate, above all. But also the presence of re-organised criminal groups already in the north is powerful enough to challenge democracy and rule of law”.

Former Defense Minister: The situation in the north is the same as it was right after the declaration of Independence.

Former Defence Minister Burim Ramadani says the current situation in the north is as it was after declaring independence.

“On the other hand, the ethnic political boycott of local Serbs there, which has occurred through threats, pressure and blackmail from Serbia's security structures, has restored the situation similar to what has been immediately after Kosovo's declaration of independence. Normally, local Serb citizens there are under tremendous pressure from the state of Serbia, through security structures, even from criminal groups aimed at illegal benefits while serving Belgrade's” policy, Ramadani said.

He says that for the situation in the north, Kosovo must co-operate with the allied states.

“Situate in northern Kosovo must be treated with joint care with international partners, respectively NATO and Allied states separately. Syncing the planning of their actions and implementation with international partners is a guarantee of gradual, but certain rule of law in that part of Kosovo”, he says.

The new mayors are expected to take the oath, where there is also warned there will be tension.

But that is not what former Chief Inspector of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (AKI) Burim Ramadani says.

The warned “Tensions, in fact, I believe, will not be possible if Kosovo institutions have managed to coordinate actions in detail with NATO and single partners. Serbia has no immediate interest in escalation of the security situation, but aims to keep the north in a hurry by constantly threatening to escalate security”, he said.

Former AKI Chief Inspector: Serbia repeatedly reports Russia on Kosovo actions

Ramadan for Front Online says Serbia repeatedly reports Russia of actions it took against Kosovo.

Russia has tremendous impact on Serbia's governing structures, both political and security. On September 23rd, 2022, about 7 months after Russia started the war in Ukraine, Serbia and Russia have signed the agreement to “consult” each other on foreign policy issues. Remember when Selakovic and Lavroor signed the agreement, to which there was great international reaction. Of course, Serbia consistently consults Russia for actions towards Kosovo. After all, they reached agreement on this thing a few months ago”.

Serbs in the north have abandoned Kosovo institutions since November last year, as a sign of dissatisfaction with a Kosovo Government plan to reregister cars with Serbian illegal license plates.
One of the conditions they cite for returning to institutions is the formation of the Association of Serb majority municipalities.

Kosovo and Serbia reached the agreement on February 27th in Brussels towards normalisation of the reports, meanwhile on March 18th in Ohrid, they agreed to the Annex for its implementation. /Front Online
