Havenier denied it, but Kurt again: We are partners, friends and allies

I have not said the position of any other state, but as prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo I have spoken that our reports, our co-operation with the United States of America (SHBA) is We're very good partners, allies, friends, This does not mean that we absolutely agree in every country for everything, but in this respect we have a new Kosovo Central Bank regulation that the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, under the Constitution and the law, has to support, so I also say that our reports are very good and that I stand by this word”, Kurti said.

What did Havenier say last week? 

We have hoped that Prime Minister Albin Kurti's government would engage, as partners do, to resolve this issue together, rather than take action unilaterally... we are concerned that Kurti's government has not done that. Whatever suggestion things are okay, that we all agree with each other, it's not true at all. We are concerned and frustrated and I think the tone of assistant Secretary O'Brien reflects this very clearly”, said Havener.
