9 hours agoGreenell's visit to Kosovo was announced: What awaits Kurt from President Trump's special emissary?
Periskopi(a year ago)
(a year ago)When we are almost at the end of the vote count and are expected by the CEC to become the certificate of election results, the most frequent question is “who will form Government?” With great interest, this question is also being followed by high - ranking acts of the new American administration.

With great interest, this question is also being followed by high - ranking acts of the new American administration. Among them, nothing less than President Trump's Special Emissary Richard Green. The latter, as warned, is expected to come to Kosovo...

“Kurt's government is not a reliable partner of the United States...“So stated the US envoy for special missions Richard Greenell, just six days before the parliamentary election date in Kosovo.
“Both Republicans and Democrats have repeatedly criticised Kurti for taking unilateral actions that destabilise the region. So does the EU and NATO. The international community is united against Kurti”, said Grenelli, under whom because of his government, many American companies are not investing in Kosovo.
Days later, Prime Minister Kurti was asked by reporters about what Grenore said.
“We have the biggest American investment”, Kurti said.
Even this statement by Kosovo's prime minister has brought Greene's reaction.
“Present. Relationships have never been lower. Albin Kurti was sentenced by the first administration of Trump, the Benden administration, NATO, the EU, the US Embassy, Anthony Blinken etc”He said Green.
In fact, this is not the beginning of the clash between Greenell and Kurt.
By the time Albin Kurti was expected to take office as Kosovo prime minister (23 January 2020), he was in negotiations with Isa Mustaf's LDK for a government coalition, Richard Green, met with him.
He at the time had only one particular request: the removal of the 100% fee on Serbian products.
On February 4, 2020, Albin Kurti officially took office as prime minister. Failure to comply with the LDK was evident from the beginning, including the 100% fee for Serbian products.
It went as it went, the crash after the crash... on March 18th, the LDK emerged from the coalition and announced the initiation of the no-confidence motion for Kurti Government.
On March 25th, the government fell...
One day later Kurt would react for the first time after the fall of his government. He mentioned and accused Ambassador Green.
“The meaning of distrust was the order Ambassador Green: in Kosovo there are over 80 deputies willing to risk even citizens' lives just to pass presidential exchange”, Kurti said.
Among other things, Kurti expressed that at meetings with Greenell, he had never promised to lift the fee 100% without reciprocity.
But this was denied by Grenelli, who said that “ai [the Kurti] looked me in the eye and said they would remove the tax.
New Trump Administration, Kurt at risk?
Vetevendosje Movement leader Albin Kurti had come out against current US President Donald Trump and had invited Albanians living in the United States to vote on Joe Biden for president in the 2020 presidential election.
He through a Facebook video message, had said that a vote for Beden is a vote to reinforce common values of justice, freedom, self-determination and opportunities for all.
Four years later Donald Trump returned to the White House.
As soon as we go away, we briefly remember what happened at the Trump-Terensk and Vance meeting...
One of the collisions that will remain in history is this threesome which in some form “changed the course of the world”.
During that crash at the White House, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance reminded Zelensky that he had backed the Democrats in the US.
“A you said thank you at least once during this meeting. You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October”He told Vance éensky.
In view of all of this, the Trump administration has had the best reports at the time of Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti.
An important moment of mediation of the Trump Administration took place in Kosovo-Serbia relations on September 4th 2020, when Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti was hosted at the White House by Donal Trump to sign the Agreement for normalising Economic Relations with Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq.
Trump's mediation brought Kosovo recognition from the state of Israel.
Unlike this period, the administration's relations of Trump and especially Yerenelli with Albin Kurt were the most tense.
What will be the country's next prime minister remains to be seen. But most importantly, what will be the approach to internationals, especially the United States, to restore relations where former Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti left them. /Periscope.
