Peci: LVV chose the path of isolation from the West, Trump appears to tolerate misuse of defence and support

Lulzim Peci from the Kosovar Institute for Research and Development of Politics (KIPRED) says the Vetevendosje Movement has chosen “the way to lose strategic opportunities for Kosovo and the isolation from the West”.

Because of some tactical victories that would be and may be very short-term without the ill-deserved protection of the United States, the VV has chosen the way to lose strategic opportunities for Kosovo and the isolation from the West!”, he wrote in a Facebook post.

In 2020 and 2021, Pec recalls that “has had an enthusiasm from the West to Kurti, as well as Kosovo. The last governance, especially the PAN's, you've achieved a bad internal image”.

“Morpo, and in view of this, gave some important new results, and the main was the establishment of the Kosovo Army, and the passage of the demarcation agreement with Montenegro, along with LDK support. Well, Kurti government II unfortunately proved to be a lost chance to move forward, both internal and external, former ambassador wrote.

According to Peci, the Trump Administration will not tolerate “misusing US defence and support” to Kosovo.

Let's not forget that the only U.S. summit of this government took place in 2022 with Secretary Blinken after the signing of the Elektrosverin deal. Then we ended up saying that Blaineken is naive, and the others are in order! (Don't recognize meetings while waiting for other events, that they're not official or working.) However, there was no major sanctions for Kosovo from the Benden Presidency. But with Trump, it seems to be different, and that will not be tolerated mishandling of Washington's defence and support”, he wrote.

So let's not be surprised at the suspension of strategic dialogue, as the US's period of address has ended over the abusive and offensive behaviour of the Kosovo government leadership”, Peci added.
