Hoxhaj: Kurti has often been held in Athens in order to pull her out of Turkey

Former Foreign Minister Enver Hoxhaj said Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has been following very frequent visits to Greece, until he added something like that to other countries in the region, such as Albania, Macedonia or Bulgaria. Hoxhaj even said Kurt was set up when he was invited to [...]

Hoxhaj even said Kurti was trapped when he was invited to visit frequent symposiums in Greece, saying their goal has been to keep away from Turkey.

I think it's good that Kurti has also built good reports with Greece, that we have as long as we've been in government as Prime Minister Thaci and others.

I have very good reports with Greece, but Kurt is often held in Athens in order to pull him away from Turkey, and he has often not understood the way the regional policy of states works, that there are even small traps in foreign politics, even from those they expect. I have not waited for Greece to recognise Kosovo's independence.

I'd like this to happen, but I'd say for one reason that if you and I live in a Pristina neighborhood and I keep going to another neighbor and I never come to you for coffee, you don't need to know in political diplomacy to see that it's too much of a job benefits.

So it's very often held by conferences, symposiums, frequent invitations to show that it's very close to Athens, and further away from others, and in my conviction when you're foreign minister as Mrs. Gervalla, if Kurti séne di, Gervala must explain. If you go 5 times to Greece, you have to go to Albania 4-5 times, both in Macedonia and Bulgaria”, Hoxhaj has said.

He added he does not expect recognition from Greece, despite reports with the Government of Kosovo.

I've seen some actions that show that colleagues in government don't know the diplomatic protocol, not even the small traps, I'm looking with sympathy at the reports with Greece but expect no recognition. I do not expect recognition with Cyprus as well, I do not expect with Romania, Slovakia, Spain”, Hoxhaj said in Tv1.

While, in terms of the Association of Serb-run municipalities, Hoxhaj said this process could be completed in 2016, unless various actions, including violence, took place in the Kosovo Assembly in 2017.

It's what's happening since 2013, until 2017, when there's violence in the Kosovo Assembly for Association, border deregulation, visa liberalisation that we would have had in 2016, and we got it in January 2024, it shows that when foreign policy topics turn into internal discours and misuse for internal reasons as if it had been mishandled by VV could be pushed into endlessly and ended up in a situation when that draft, which has not been an easy 2013 or 2015 of Asoci, but if we started to apply the constitution as if the court had said 2024, it wasn't now. That in politics every political will can be found which does not harm neither the political building nor the sovereignty nor the independence of Kosovo, but also achieves the right goal”, he said.

But if you did it in 2013, instead of the 2013 Association we ended up in a parallel entity outside of the Republic of Kosovo, we have a full political and territorial and religious autonomy that Mr. Kurti has left on the table that he said to that same country that the agreement and that deal could seem to be someone who is following us as non-relevant tonight but is relevant to the EU. The EU has integrated that agreement into the Kosovo and Serbia's EU membership process, so even the damages that have been done are greater. We have a policy which is actually buying time, which has no results. Politics is not measured with good intentions, measured with results”, Hoxhaj added.

He added that the results in Albin Kurti's foreign policy are without recognition, without membership in international organisations, without receiving candidate status.
