Full letter:

Open letter to the prime minister Kosovo Albin Kurti.

Dear Prime Minister Kurti,

I write this letter kindly, in the interest of the Republic of Kosovo. I know that many of your supporters, without cause or right, will attack me, insult me, and try to humiliate me. But this is today's Kosovo, where populism defeats reason.

Kosovo was built with effort and sacrifice. It is the most successful post-war statehood project, the project that was developed by combining national will and international support from our American and European allies and partners. In that sense, I believe your policy is wrong and leads to greater isolation and the most pronounced lack of international support since the beginning of the peaceful resistance led by President Rugova in the late 1980s and the neglect of Kosovo's autonomy and the establishment of apartheid rule in Belgrade. This peaceful and military movement now climaxing with the Kosovo Liberation Army achieved its successes precisely because it was in a time with the US and European partners.

You have been selected with a historic result for a political party in Kosovo. Your political path is built on the principle of exclusion and not co-operation. In 1999, Kosovo was zero, you were in Serbian prisons, a political prisoner, not seeing the damage the war had left. Kosovo came out killed, deported, robbed and destroyed by the late 20th century war in Europe. Kosovo in the past 24 years has experienced the largest economic, social and political development in its entire history. But because of your political argument, you decided to reject any achievements of two decades of post-war, giving the non-nationalist momentum that takes Kosovo's freedom and well-being as well as all that takes our independence as good. Today, there is a need for cohesion and co-operation between all political groups and civil society, to emerge from international isolation and the irrational internal illusion that is damaging Kosovo. But you didn't make it possible, you built barriers to collaborators and labeled criminals and corrupts all without any evidence contributing to Kosovo's path towards freedom, independence and statehood. You rejected every call and will to co-operate on this label that looks like folk trials on the street that have no place in our democracy.

I have seen this rejection of co-operation as an MP, but, above all, as a citizen of Kosovo, where your treatment of the opposition and anyone who disagrees with your political beliefs has been rejected and ignored has often been ridiculed and attacked. I don't expect you to reflect and take the lead in co-operation and political rationality in the interests of all citizens of our Republic, but I'm sorry we've come as a new state and a society in this situation where polarization has reached a disturbing extent that it is painful that we can't do more together as a state for the vital interests of Kosovo. The responsibility for this country's direction is always the majority and its leader, in this case Prime Minister Kurti.

In the past two years, I have seen state and institutions malfunction, rejecting co-operation in the interest of Kosovo. Because of you, sir. The prime minister was delayed opening of the Children's Hospital at QKUK, where medical instruments were blocked in Kosovo customs, which were not the object of customs or taxation, but the address of many letters to them fell on deaf ears because there were no results or answers at all. The equipment was damaged by humidity in the customs depots, and their shift has been conditional and has caused unreasonable delays.

We often hear about how you are committed to the diplomatic battle against Serbia, so it should be for a Kosovo prime minister and so it has always been. But in one case I have brought a delegation from a country that had decided to recognise Kosovo as an independent and sovereign state, they met with you and the president of the Republic, but diplomacy to finalise recognition of Kosovo lacked and no step of action was taken by your government to finalise it. Another case was when two states, after my visits there, recognised Kosovo's passport as the first step towards recognising Kosovo and cleared the way for it. You accepted the letters of two presidents of the countries in question, but for your political outrage you ignored them and took no step from your government to formalise recognition and diplomatic co-operation. If you are sincere about the diplomatic battle against Serbia, that is where it is made and has to be done, increasing the recognition of Kosovo. Kosovo's recognition is the greatest success of foreign policy co-ordinated with our allies and has brought much pain to Belgrade. If you give up this strategic goal, you cannot make any diplomatic victories over Serbia. Currently you are the first government and the only prime minister in the post-independence history that you have not achieved any single recognition. This is not good for our country, nor for the results of your government.

Because of the stubbornness and lack of your political and pragmatic vision, historically built on the political lies of recent decades with false political causes for demarcation, dialogue with Serbia and, above all, for Kosovo's statehood, today Kosovo has been brought into this situation. Isolation, polarization and authoritarian intimidation. Your uncoordinated actions with the Allies, the term you've joked with and attacked every time, are damaging Kosovo. Kosovo has worked on this sacred principle of co-ordination with allies that are the pillar of our independence and freedom. Failure to co-ordinate with the US and European partners is historic for Kosovo is the opposite of what has been built for over three decades, fighting for freedom and independence. Today, you as prime minister of the newest state in Europe, your historic actions are damaging Kosovo in the long term.

The pillars of Kosovo's independence are the Pacific Movement of President Rugova, the Kosovo Liberation Army and partnership with the US and the Western world built on the will of the people of Kosovo for freedom and independence. These three pillars are under threat and continued attack by your party and government. You were against these pillars in the last three decades, but now at cost as you are in the country's leadership chair. We are passing this populist and autocratic fruit as many societies, but our difference is that we are not yet fully part of the international system and we need internal and international co-operation. I suggest you consult people who have been part of our struggle for freedom of independence and travel towards statehood. Leave the anti-Western and anti-historic groups that view Kosovo as a political experiment. We have neither luxury nor time to experiment at the expense of the state and history.

With this I want to stress that I, as any citizen of this country, am willing to support the governance of your country if you follow the agenda in the interest of the country. I have supported you several times for international recognition of Kosovo and despite your refusal, I tell you that I am here to support the state of Kosovo. Above all we see Kosovo, and for that I am skeptical that we will have a reflection on your part.
