Former CIA analyst for the region: US don't want co-operation with Kurti, want elections

This makes a big difference for Kosovo. The United States is signaling that they do not want to cooperate with Albin Kurti. That's clear. They want elections”, Kanin said on Saturday in a statement for Kosovo Online.

As he added, Kosovo has no support from anyone other than the United States.

Claiming that US President Donald Trump has failed to secure peace in Ukraine or Gaza, Kanin said Americans will be seriously engaged in advancing dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.

The last thing Washington wants is another failure. For years, Prime Minister Kurti has made it clear that he does not like the existing dialogue with Serbia, especially the proposed Association of Serb-run municipalities in Kosovo”, he said.

Kann said the question is whether there will be early elections in Kosovo and whether they will change something.

“The question is also whether Kurti will manage to win the elections despite clear US efforts to bring it down. If he loses, what will the opposition do with so many leaders on trial at The Hague, until their defence has just begun? Who exactly would the next prime minister be? That is not clear”, he said.

He recalled that opposition parties in Kosovo have failed to co-operate and unite against Kurt.

According to him, this is one of the reasons why Kosovo is on a “road without a head-on”.

This is not just Kurt. So there are many unknown”, Kann said.

According to him, it is clear that there are many people in the American administration who favour the Serbian view.

However, as he adds, the question is whether Washington will focus on the region.

However, as he claims, because Trump failed to end the war in Ukraine, he failed to end the war in Gaza, he does not want to get involved in Kosovo and experience another failure.
