Limaj: Government actions halt supportive voices towards Kosovo's membership in Council of Europe

Social Democrat Initiative Chairman Fatmir Limaj considers that the government's <x0 irresponsible” -- Kurti -- have brought Kosovo into a tense situation with international partners.

In an interview for Online Economy, Limaj has also spoken of Kosovo's “collapse” in diplomacy, which he calls without political orientation. Limaj emphasises that Kosovo has lost the opportunity to help membership towards the Council of Europe, at the expense of the Kurti Government.

Limaj says Kosovo diplomacy is far from bringing new recognitions, while criticism is also about the way some embassies operate in European countries.

Now when your country's strategic vision has entered, you're making internal calculations, external actions weighing them with internal expectations this is a situation where you have narrow daily policies, but all of the investments you make for a daily, temporary fraud, in so-called populist decisions, which have not been understood by our friends once again they've been punished, or rejected by our friends, and this hasn't happened once, this has happened in the course of three years. See what Kosovo diplomacy today tells me of a move Kosovo diplomacy has made? We have the embassy today without political orientation. The embassies that have Kosovo in the country today give a clear political orientation, what should they do? What is their role. Tell me something important diplomatic that has come to Kosovo, which has left a diplomatic sign of our country, any diplomatic action. I'm not saying recognition that he's far from familiar with no”, Limaj says.

The head of the Initiative says that frequent scandals have caused allies to be surprised and to stop helping membership in important international organisations.

We've constantly had scandals, actions that we've often surprised our friends, and those who were interested in helping us. There were concrete steps to help us towards membership in the Council of Europe, but the actions of our governance also stop those supportive voices from joining Kosovo in the Council of Europe. So we're not seeing that there has been any concrete, serious and dignified action that should have a state”, Limaj says.
