Periskopi(2 years ago)
(2 years ago)Albin Kurti, Kosovo prime minister, has had an unpleasant experience in interview with journalist Francine Lacqua on the “The Pulse” in Bloomberg media, where he was asked about the Serbian dinar, European Union sanctions, the situation in the north, association and other issues. In the journalist's precise questions on specific issues, Kurt had no answer [...]
In the particular questions of the journalist on specific issues, Kurt has had no concrete answers except that he has generalized, in some cases, giving even the fig figures of how jobs have been added to Kosovo by 18 percent since he has assumed the prime minister's position and that there has been economic growth every year by six percent.
But the most embarrassing moment was when the journalist asked Kurti what she was replacing the millions missing from sanctions imposed by the European Union.
“
“We are funding programme”, Kurti said, not naming either of these programs.
Then he said the government is providing <x0BEfit social benefits, health grants for education, for pensions”, alluding to the once-intensity government has divided, but the question was not about social schemes, but about replacing money Kosovo is not receiving because it is under austerity measures.
Kurti later, having found it difficult to answer, also made a gaffe, telling the journalist that Serbia cares about Kosovo Serbs as well.
“They also receive additions from Serbia”, stated.
He was also asked about the Association of Serb-run municipalities and how preparations are going to establish this institution.
Still, a lame response by Kosovo Prime Minister.
The “Association has returned to the so-called self-management of the Kosovo Serb community”, Kurti said, and then went on to show what it is like Serbia is not respecting the provisions of the agreement reached with Kosovo in Brussels on February 27th last year.
At another point Kurt was released in some figures for which he did not provide resources, he simply presented them as truths of his rule.
“The work compared to three years ago has increased by 18 percent, so we want all communities to benefit from economic growth in Kosovo, which is about 6 percent on average every three years”, Kurti said.
Kurt's entire interview with Italian journalist Francine Lacqua was such, with uncertainty, uncertainty in response and without any content in explanation.
