FAZ: Kurt politics in line with Serbian plans for destabilise

What changed so much, however, as the article was written by the same journalist Mechael Martens. The article today is entitled “Who's playing the wrong game in Kosovo? ”

“ ... Kosovo Prime Minister Kurti's policies are in line with Serbian plans for destabilising the region,”, has written Martens, among other things, in this article, until it argues that view.

In last year's script, “correspondentFrankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” (FAZ) for Southeast Europe, Michael Martens, had made a portrait of Prime Minister Kurti.

The author indicated that when Albin Kurti was born in March 1975, Kosovo was “and part of Serbia and Serbia part of Yugoslavia.

It said Kurt's youth were characterised by the breakup of the Yugoslav state and the fight against Serb apartheid politics in Kosovo.

The FAZ wrote that during NATO's war against Yugoslavia, composed only of Serbia and Montenegro in 1999, he was arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison, among other things for terrorism”. When the indictment was pronounced, Slobodan Milosevic was in power. But even after his ouster from power, Kurt remained in prison, he was released following international pressure.

“I was a year and five months under Milosevic in prison and a year and two months under (Vojislav) Kostunica. So Kostunica has been three months better than Milosevic”, so Kurti replied with sarcasm during a conversation with “Frankfurter Allgemen Zeitung” in 2007. From this conversation quoted correspondent Michael Martens, who describes Kurti's battle against the UN mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Kurt called this mission a neocolonialist and demanded its dissolution.

Since 2021, it wrote “FAZ”, this political veteran, is Kosovo prime minister, not for the first time. An earlier mandate ended quickly, formally due to disagreements over pandemic management, but in fact Kurti was brought down as a result of Richard Green, the envoy for the Balkans of then President Donald Trump.

One of Kurt's most important foreign policy motions according to the FAZ is “reciprocity”.

The article said that in relation to Serbia, this politician advocates Kosovo's category initiative, according to him, in every respect should treat Serbia the same as Serbia treats Kosovo.

The latest “Tensions on the Kosovo-Serbian border have to do with this. Kurti wants Kosovo authorities to stop accepting Serbian identification documents because Serbia does not accept Kosovo documents either. In the future Serbs would have to be equipped with a Kosovo provisional document, as should Kosovars when they want to enter Serbia, the German newspaper wrote.
