“Did Kurt's government want to open Ibër Bridge?

The opening issue of the Ibër Bridge, which was conducted until early last week, is no longer being mentioned by the Government of Kosovo, nor by LV exhibitors. And this “fatigue” appears to come after CIA chief's visit to Kosovo, Willaim Burns. Former Foreign Affairs Minister Petrit Selimi, through [...]
Former Foreign Affairs Minister Petrit Selimi, through a post on the platform “X” on Monday, has said that the visit of Kosovo's Central Intelligence Agency chief (CIA), William Burns, in Pristina at the end of the week, has had immediate effect on Kosovo politics, especially with regard to the Kosovo government's plans for opening the main bridge over the Iber River.
The CIA director's “visa appears to have had an effect on Kosovo. He brought the same message that the American ambassador had: Work with us, do not escalate. All of a sudden, no daily hail over plans to open the [Ibri's] bridge. The problem seems to be dusty and we can focus on other things”, the former head of Kosovo diplomacy wrote in the afternoon.
While former AKI Chief Inspector Burim Ramadani has said he is observing a pause of hatred and arrogance from Vetevendosje's power.
Ramadan this has been linked to the CIA chief's visit, William Burns, saying it remains to be seen whether it is an instant pause or “have learned what they dare not do anymore! ”
“Friday notes a lack of public disseminating hatred and manifesting arrogance by power. It remains to be seen whether this is just an instant pause or they have learned what they can't do anymore!
Furthermore, he said that the poisonous language of power against the United States, NATO, KFOR, the EU and others have damaged the country's health.
The poisonous version of power experts towards the international factor, the United States, NATO, KFOR, the EU, the opposition, the civil society, the media, businesses, unions, etc. has seriously damaged the health of our state! The damage was done.”
Friday's “Serrum stopped the poisonous language immediately, but recovery takes time. ” he said.
Independent MP Fatmir Humolli has expressed himself.
He said it is difficult that Prime Minister Albin Kurti will open the Ibër Bridge.
I can never believe when Albin Kurti says there's something done like he says, he says.
Hummolli, said Kurti had promised that in a year the works on Pristina Pristina Street would be completed, and that this has not been accomplished.
For example, in the Podujevo municipality, when the electoral campaign for the election of Mayor Buliki was made, before all the citizens said that the Pristina route would be carried out that year, and still it has not been carried out”, he said, in “Info Magazine”
In contrast, former director of European affairs at the US National Security Council Charles Kupchan to assess that it is not a good time for the Iber River bridge to be opened at this stage, as Kosovo's government insists with Albin Kurti.
According to Kupchan, these Kosovo prime minister moves are viewed as unilateral by the international community.
The prime minister's political and legal right to open the bridge is not necessarily the right thing to do when we are at the wide goal of normalising relations with Serbia, with the government in Serbia, and creating a peaceful situation and towards progress in Kosovo. So I worry that if Prime Minister Kurti moves unilaterally, he does not have the reconciliation of Serbs in the north, the reconciliation of Belgrade, he does not have the support of the US and NATO countries. This move could do more harm than good”, he said of Tv1.
Meanwhile, German Ambassador Jorn Rohde said days ago that currently “No way.” to open Ibrit Bridge.
“It's not about opening right now. We have communicated this to the government.”, Jorn Rohde said, who the previous day was also hosted at the meeting by Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
We remember that Prime Minister Kurti had said that the Ibr Bridge should be opened.
The government has tested stability and carried out some preparations before opening, but they have never given a precise date for when the bridge can be opened.
On the other hand, internationals have demanded that the opening of the bridge be discussed within the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, which has been rejected by Kosovo institutions. /Periscopi
