Former BBC reporter: Kurti and Vuciq co-operate quietly, back each other

Speaking to incumbent Kosovo Prime Minister Mihajlovic said he is a good student of the Serbian president.

“He is a controversial young man, as the best student in the region of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. He's doing everything to win choices. He built his entire election campaign mainly on police hospitality to Serbs in northern Kosovo. That was liked by a part of his voters. Then, he wanted to show the West his power”, Serbian journalist told RT V SLO.

When asked about suspending US strategic dialogue with Kosovo and starting such a policy with Serbia, Mihajlovic said these have to do with each other. He said the Kurti-Vuccic pair will be well co-ordinated.

Kurti and Vucic have extraordinary co-operation in silence. They compliment and support each other. I expect Vucic's media to help Albin Kurti, announcing Kurti is preparing for an attack on Serbia. The average Kosovo voter will think: “Ah, we are starting a conflict with Serbia, but why bother about America? These news will postpone the suspension of strategic dialogue in the background”, Mihajlovic said further.

The US suspended the strategic dialogue with Kosovo precisely because of Kurti's actions, in particular following strong attacks on the Constitutional Court because of the Serbian List. The US expressed disappointment with the incumbent prime minister, while the possibility of future sanctions is not ruled out./Periscopi/
