Mehe gives the former boss his mind: Government to Act With Watchfulness and Discretion

Former Defence Minister Andmend Mehaj has indicated that Albanians in Kosovo and the region should be careful not to get involved in the interests Russia and China have in the Balkans, as according to him, they do not aim for their welfare.

These countries do not aim for our well-being, but follow their geopolitical agendas. Our path is clear ) to cultivate and strengthen relations with the United States of America and NATO, partners who have always been by our side in the most difficult days, writes Mehaj on Facebook.

Among other things, Mehaj has said the government should act with vigilance and caution towards geopolitical developments in the Western Balkans.

Serbia, Russia and China, in addition to official policies, are also using public diplomacy channels and the influence on citizens within Kosovo, whether Serbian or Albanian, who are sold, to express disappointment with our power and country. They are even trying to incite disobedience to the government through antireligious movements”, the former minister writes away.

“This is a sensitive period, and domestic political issues should not excuse hostile structures to take advantage of the citizens' non-community or political divisions to undermine Kosovo's image in the international arena. Our future depends on unity and progress. We don't have time for divisions. The right way is to believe in our common purpose”.

Similarly, he says that in the following months, commitment is needed by state institutions and leaders, for increasing our country's diplomatic, political and economic image.

In the following months, it is imperative that our foreign ministry, our diplomatic embassies, be strongly engaged in increasing our country's diplomatic, political and economic image. Our Athens with security and economic duties must be actively devoted. Also, our diaspora can and should contribute more, but it is essential that our ambassadors know how to motivate and engage them effectively. Always side by side with Albania, our allies, with the West, with NATO, with the US”.
