Isa Mustafa: The house is breaking down, the government is creating

That is how former Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa describes the current situation in Kosovo.

In some answers to the written questions for the former LDK head Periscope, he estimates that Kosovo's position on the international but domestic level is at the most delicate point. Mustafa has stressed that on the path of statehood “nothing is given forever”.

The “is a very delicate situation, in which Kosovo is facing challenges to preserve the achievements of statehood, because nothing is given once and for all”, Mustafa has said.

Former Prime Minister Mustafa has said the Kosovo government led by Albin Kurti has turned the Kosovo issue into regional security issues. Mustafa emphasises that this situation would only make its position as a side in dialogue with Serbia more difficult, while it has not ruled out the burden of the economic and social situation.

The “is essentially under EU sanctions, informally both of the US and the Euro-Atlantic alliance. Kosovo well showed that it is very difficult to build a very easy state so that you can endanger it with irresponsible behaviour towards its top allies. The current power, the Kosovo issue from the political level, turned into regional security issues. Therefore, measures have been expected to prevent escape of the situation. This would greatly burden Kosovo's position in dialogue and international relations, as well as the economic and social situation in the country”, the former prime minister has said.

Mustafa says that the “military force of Prime Minister Kurti's” not to co-ordinate with international allies, rejecting any demand they had seen earlier in history, but that leaders and their countries have suffered a bad end.

“Kurti brought the sanctions but it is continuing with the old avaz. I also know other leaders who have behaved with contempt towards peacekeepers, but have badly finished them and their” seats, Mustafa said.

After the European Union communicated to Kosovo a series of punitive measures as a result of the Kosovo Government's failure to act on the deextling of the situation and the opposition's response to this blow, Mustafa sees the latter as committed to maintaining international partnership. While the rest says it belongs to the government, which it says “is being created”.

“As it follows the situation, the opposition is rejecting the endangerment of international partnership by the government. It is not dealing with funds and how they would be treated in the sanctions package. That's what power should think about. Governments and ministries are behaving as if nothing had happened -- the house is turning the key and the government is creating”, Mustafa stressed.

And the initiative of his former party, the Democratic League of Kosovo, which has been named as the “Third road” for exiting the crisis, Mustafa calls it an opposition otherwise”. He has even assessed both the positive and other opposition parties' demands for the collapse of the Kosovo government.

I'm not in the course of this initiative, but I'm reading about an opposition flame, about initiatives and attitudes of a sustainable opposition. They eventually gave up the syntagma that the government is working badly, is hurting the country, but that we are not interested in bringing it down. When they saw the government overthrowing Kosovo, the opposition took courage to say that the government, not Kosovo”, must be overthrown, Mustafa has said.

Isa Mustafa has been Kosovo's prime minister since 2014-2017. He led the Democratic League of Kosovo for more than 10 years.

Currently, Mustafa is not active in political life after opening the way for elections in his former party, at the helm of which Lumir Abdixhiku was put up with a regular election process. /Periscope.
