Works “back“in Kosovo, Kurti “snooping” even in Switzerland's election

A visit by Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti to Switzerland has been warned that it will happen in September.

Kurti is expected to travel to Cyril, Switzerland, to support the Social Democrat Party in Switzerland's federal elections, which will be organised on 22 October.

According to Swiss Blick, the Social Democrat Party is expected to use Kurti to win the votes of the Albanian majority there.

Although there is still no official confirmation from the government, Prime Minister Kurti himself had warned the visit to Switzerland. He had even said openly that with the sister party, they intend to help each other in election campaigns.

The argument is that we support each other in election campaigns in order for the two of us to gain force”, Kurti had declared months ago.

But, the Secretary General of the Swiss People's Party, also known as SVP and National Adviser Peter Keller, has named it “completely wrong” Prime Minister Kurti's planned presentation in an election campaign in Switzerland.

“Switzerland should not intervene in foreign countries' election campaigns and foreign countries should not interfere with the Swiss election campaign”, it has declared, among other things.

Political actors in the country think that Serbian Prime Minister Albin Kurti's “supple” in domestic affairs of another country, as was the case with Albania and Northern Macedonia, is wrong and of no benefit to the country. They consider that the EU sanctions, the collapse of reports with friendly countries, as well as the corruption related scandals this Government has produced, should be the prime minister's priority.

For Kosovo publicist Shkelzen Maliqi, the co-operation of the sisterhood parties (with equal orientation) would be perfectly normal, but considering that Kurti's movements are aimed at fleeing from domestic problems in the country.

My „is not as impressive as this extensive popular experiment that Prime Minister Kurti's growing need to leave politics in Kosovo. He greatly loves attitudes and contacts with the public and ideological foreign colleagues, in Greece, Switzerland, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, while in Kosovo he loses public debates on issues that concern Kosovo citizens. They do so only when they are forced into Kosovo's Assembly sessions, while bypassing all local media that are not pleased with or consider <x1). Kosovo's opinion, Albin Kurti, has made it a habit to address only video messages with fixed propagandistic reactions. I am not sure that leaving the confrontations with critical local issues can provide Kurti and Vetevendosje with success in the inevitable general elections and the day is approaching. The mistakes he made in relation to dialogue and ignoring the advice of strategic allies have produced a self-curture and fall into the Batak, where they can no longer be extracted with monsters opening processes and secondary themes, such as plans for ideological bias with Switzerland's left, with the interference of the political spectrum in Northern Macedonia“, Maliqi said in a response to Periscope.

Maliqi considers that Prime Minister Kurti's planned activity, however, is legitimate.

Prime Minister Kurti's planned „objective is principledly legitimate. The Social Democrat parties (of this recent profile also declare the Vetevendosje Movement!) have the untenable right to cross-border co-operation with other countries' sisters parties. Co-operation could include mutual support in the election processes in the two respective countries? Concretically, Kurti and the leader of the Swiss sister party may have a joint interview mobilizing that part of voters in Switzerland and Kosovo, which have the right to vote in both countries. Kurti even outside this initiative, from earlier on, has targeted Kosovars and diaspora, and in this case namely those with residence and employment in Switzerland, to vote on the sister party in Switzerland, which can also ensure the benefit of the longer-term loyalty of these voters to remain with the LVV even in Kosovo elections“, Maliqi has said.

The renowned publicist has also talked about the involvement of Kosovo's prime minister and elections in Albania and Northern Macedonia. In both cases, Maliqi considers Kurti to be wrong, since they have not benefited the country. On the contrary, Maliqi, the inclusion of Kosovo's prime minister, is seen as divisive.

„This situation is not just hypothetical, because it happened, even with the character interference in the case of LVV participation in Albania's election as a competing party for power, or ultimately in northern Macedonia, with interference as an external factor of division without any clear benefits to the Albanian issue. However, with Switzerland it is different, what may be the consequence is the interference of other Kosovo parties in the spectrum of the Swiss sisterhood parties, so that they too may seek ideological partnerries like Sister“, Maliqi has said.

The renowned publicist has also drawn a parallel with the fate of former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and that of Northern Macedonia Nikola Gruevski.

„From the experiences of some far-off political stories, Kurti would have to learn lessons: Cypras in Greece has been a time the hope of the world's left and had great attention in circles that favored the rebelism of realpolitical trends that have not changed much today. Where is Cipras today? Or, compare the current unilateral findings of the corruption scandals and relatives of Vetevendosje officials, with implications targeting Prime Minister Kurti himself, and compare these compromising wiretapping leaks to the publication of a series of wiretapping that brought down Gruevski's power in northern Macedonia. Remember where Gruevski is today after those „bobes“compromise?

Kurti has tax sets out his homework from the EU, with priorities that I cannot move as easily as I like. In Switzerland can even move, but where does Maliqi go and go?

Kurti on May 24th, 2021, two months after the formation of the Kurti II government, had met Cedric Airmouth, co-president of the Social Democrat Party in Switzerland, announcing that the latter had backed Vetevendosje Movement for years.

Kurt said that Wermuth, except for others, considers him a friend. /Periscopi/
