Even after harsh statements, Kurti insists that US reports are very good.

Last week, the US has dealt a blow to the Government of Kosovo. It was US Ambassador to Pristina Jeff Hovenier, who said the decision to enforce the BEC regulation to ban the Serbian dinar has affected the quality of relations between the United States and Government. And before him, US Assistant Secretary of State James [...]
However, Prime Minister Albin Kurti has insisted that <x0 ...raports are very good” and that it “lies with this word”.
Kurti said Kosovo's co-operation with the United States is good, but that does not mean that the two countries “are absolutely hired for everything”.
He said his government should respect the Kosovo Central Bank regulation, which prohibits the use of the Serbian dinar because with the Constitution and law it is in charge.
US Assistant Secretary of State James O'Brien said Kosovo should withdraw from this decision that “questions partnership with the US”.
The American ambassador to Pristina Jeffrey Hovenier, who said the decision on the dinar has already affected the reports between the two countries.
O'Brien's harsh statement has been commented on by Parliament Speaker Glauk Konjufca.
Konjufca has said O'Brien's statement was disturbing, but according to him, “partnership is not to be surprised”, alluding that the US was surprised at the new regulation of the Central Bank of Kosovo.
It was disturbing. There's nothing to interpret there. We want to be treated with partnership on the part of Kosovo. Now that's where you can interpret it because Mr. O'Brien is considering that once he stops the dinar in Kosovo, my partnership with the US is broken. Now we need to find out why that is. Why did you see Kosovo's relationship with the US?”, Konjufca said.
I've since interpreted it, it's like this: Because the Serb community has lived with the dinar 24 years. It's like something gets used to it, it's your everydayness, you go up in the morning, you go to the service, you pay there with your badges, you get your pay, you get retired around here. Your whole life is the dinar. He is a Kosovo community living in Kosovo. Now if you stop the dinar, the way they lived, now they're out there, they're down. They're saying that through these actions like this, you're surprising us. Partnership, it's not surprising”.
Now, I'll tell you “the former good guys have to tell me earlier” Do you know what it's like in the north? Those retirees were taken to protest, it causes tensions. Tensions now endanger Kosovo's security, and if security is violated it could come to the exit from control. When it gets out of control, the biggest responsibility still gets America. Not the responsibility he's out of, but he'll get it back on track. They always see this from the security perspective”.
Our goal is to understand as well as possible what is the limit between the homework that needs to be done, and what are the ones that don't have to do without themselves, without asking. A state is organized to the extent it wants to do the right thing by itself, and what are they when it's going to ask”, Conjufca said of Demos.
