(a year ago)Ehat Miftaraj, executive director at the Kosovo Institute for Justice (IKD), has said that for 17 years, Kosovo is a success story, yet for the first time it is at a crossroads where its fate is not known. He says it is not only related to actions that the Republic of Kosovo has taken through institutions, [...]
He says it is not only related to actions the Republic of Kosovo has taken through institutions but also to external factors.
According to him, it is seen the beginning of a new world order, where policies in which powerful states such as the United States and the European Union have had co-ordination on issues of particular importance at a global level are now being made in unilateral decisions, where NATO is being surprised.
And we're seeing that maybe we're experiencing the beginning of a new world order, where that traditional policy, the policy where powerful US states, the European Union in some way have been co-ordinating, let's say on issues of particular importance at a global level, today is making unilateral decisions where both NATO and the European Union are somehow being surprised. We like Kosovo are a small country where things can happen, make decisions where we are not part of the table. This would be one of the major problems, or some of the biggest shortcomings, that could have our country's future”, he said.
Presequently, Mifttaraj said that by himself the fact that Kosovo is the newest state in Europe, if we make a balance for these 17 years of travel and if we make a comparison with the countries of the region, we can say that Kosovo is definitely a success story.
“A state that declared independence in 2008, today we have 115 recognitions from states of the United Nations Organisation, I am a member of a large number of international organisations”, Miftaraj said.
Politically, Miftaraj said the Parliament has approved the agreement with the European Union for Stabilisation and Association, showing that Kosovo in the future wants to be part of this structure.
If we see the fact that Kosovo from the end of the war, we can say that there are a large number of independent institutions, without a doubt problems, challenges they have, in the last four years, I believe in these attacks that many of them had with the Government proved to have a solid basis, a stable basis, which even preserves the substance of the state, where it is certainly never to be forgotten the importance of the Constitutional Court<1>, he said. /Betimy for Justice
