Kupchan: Kurti's moves are damaging Kosovo in international eyes

The renowned American professor and international policy expert, Charles Cupchan, has estimated that the act of incumbent Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti may have violated the country's progress in relation to the international community.

Kupchan criticised Kurti's approach to topics such as dialogue with Serbia and relations with international partners.

The fact that he has been in power for so long and has regained elections is a sign of his political capacities. With what I said, I think Kurt to an extended extent the nationalist game”, said Cupchan in Tv1, broadcast Periscope.

According to him, the Kurti Government's approach to issues such as appointing mayors in the north, the issue of license change, and the lack of progress in forming the Association of Serb majority municipalities have contributed to Kosovo's perception as one of the obstacles to dialogue with Serbia.

Until now, most thought Serbia was the problem. Now the feeling that even Kosovo is part of the matter has been created, he said.
