Reactions by Opposition

Former Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti has said Kosovo's policy has changed for the worse, and all this is due to the political dogmas of Prime Minister Kurti of President Osmani.

According to Hoti, Kosovo had goals only in terms of economic development and Euro-Atlantic integration, but with Kurti and Osman leadership it has changed political orientation.

Hoti has said Kosovo has already turned into a security issue for its allies.

From a country with challenges to economic development and Euro-Atlantic integration, Kosovo turns into a security issue for allies from declaring independence, we have worked hard after government to remove Kosovo from the list of countries with security problems. In close co-operation with the allies, difficult and unpopular decisions have been made, but they represent Kosovo with the West. We received new recognitions, membership in international mechanisms, becoming part of regional and international initiatives, progressively making Kosovo's Euro-Atlantic future a statement.

Political stability, internal integration of communities, normalisation of regional relations and other actions assured Kosovo economic development and progress on the path to Euro-Atlantic integration. Consequently, we managed to remove Kosovo from the list of countries with security problems and put it on the list of countries with challenges to economic development and membership in the EU and NATO. I am convinced that this has been the wisest policy for Kosovo's Euro-Atlantic integration”, says Hoti's Facebook post.

According to Hoti, all this political change has occurred because of the political dogmas of Kurti and Osman.

He has said that the CIA chief's visit to Kosovo would not be necessary in past governments.

Unfortunately, Kosovo's people, the political dogma of Kurti and Osman, and their confrontation with the Allies of Kosovo's sovereignty for the order of actions in the north turned Kosovo into security issues for NATO and the EU, as well as the main ally of Kosovo, the US. Of course, Serbia used this situation with a tendency to create a new wave of crisis in Europe, as evidenced by the September 25th 2023 terrorist attack.
Consequently, the CIA chief is forced to land in Pristina. He would have to land in Bosnia and Serbia, but not in Kosovo. Kosovo would have to carry out all co-ordination with the US as it always did, through Ambassador to Pristina, with the State Department and the White House. In Kosovo it would have to launch American and European companies for development projects of highways and railways, gas, private projects in areas of various sorts, all of this money in the September 4th 2020 Washington Agreement, and in the Kosovo Investment Promotion Agreement- US on December 31, 2020,”, says Hot's post.

On the other hand, AAK leader Ramush HaradinajHe welcomed the CIA chief William Burns meeting with the president and prime minister.

He has suggested that meeting the top US official with Kosovo institutional leaders is good news.

In his account in “Facebook”, he has written that Kosovo institutions must stand firm for the alliance with America.

Honored Kosovo citizens, the visit of the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Mr. Burns in Kosovo is a great honour for Kosovo and good news for our security. For us, integration into the Euro-Atlantic family is vital, and the alliance with America is eternal. Kosovo institutions must stand firm for the alliance with America. Mr. Director's meetings. Burns with the heads of institutions are good news for Kosovo. As for Kurt and his agenda, we allow time to testify, but no one can risk Kosovo's alliance with America. It is eternal and vital.”, Haradinaj wrote.
