Maliqi: The possibility of attracting US soldiers from KFOR has been ridiculed, but by January 20th is very real.

He in a Facebook response writes that anyone who comes to the government should know we're dealing with a ruthless American administration.

In addition, according to him, the American administration does not see the presence of American forces in Europe as reasonable.

Maliqi does not even rule out the withdrawal of American troops from KFOR.

Hurricane Trump, American Aid and KFOR

Kosovo except to be restrictive by EU is now being affected by temporary suspension of U activities USAID and US assistance at the global level, which also has questions about how and whether they will continue in the long term (Trump says it wants to put a lock on U. USAID.

Cynics in our midst focused on the impact of these measures on civil society, some even enjoying the fact that NGOs may remain without funding. But they must keep in mind that USAID has the almost absolute majority of the programme with state institutions (governments, courts, prosecutors or municipalities) and the private sector, while the main share of support for civil society covers other independent foundations by the American government. In addition, the US is the country with the largest share of the World Bank, which can also be affected by a review of the assistance, while in Kosovo it has the largest programme with the MCC.

Kosovo's average citizen may not know that much that exists in Kosovo today in institution services up to increased industry exports would not be possible without U's help US, EU or World Bank, which comes not only with money but also with expertise that Kosovo does not have. Now many infrastructure reforms or projects will be in the deadlock, and many services can degrade. The situation once will probably stabilize, some programmes can continue, and Kosovo has strengthened some capacities itself. But the economic impact of this situation will be immediately felt by many professionals with the loss of jobs and many businesses serving them.

Anyone coming to the government from Sunday's elections should have a plan to maneuver in this economic and institutional situation. But I have to read this situation even wider as a clear political signal that it is a ruthless American administration to anyone who feels that you are benefiting from America in terms of security, which does not view the presence of American forces in Europe as reasonable. So far the possibility of attracting American soldiers from KFOR has been ridiculed as frightening propaganda, but by January 20th is a very real opportunity.
