Behrami: Albin Kurti main responsibility for going to elections is hiding behind Ohrid agreement

In an interview for Online Economy, Behram said the main responsibility for going to the polls lies with Kurti, accusing him of deliberately creating political crises.

I think that citizens of the Republic of Kosovo as never before already have a clear agenda to create crises from Albin Kurti. Even last time, especially now, the main responsibility why Kosovo goes to the elections is Albin Kurti, who is behind the Ohrid Agreement, which he himself has accepted and which envisions substantial autonomy for Serbs in the north and extra territoriality for Serbian Orthodox churches.

To escape responsibility both from the European Union and the United States of America, Albin Kurti will produce ongoing crises. He will try to promote elections not only this May or June, in which we are entering, but he will try to promote elections even in winter, but also in the coming spring”, he said.

He added that Kurti is using power and position to avoid international responsibility and to create political advantage.

Whatever Donald Trump is in the White House, until we have this European Union that pressures him to live and implement the Ohrid Agreement that he himself has accepted, he will try to create the crisis. And so it has two levers: On one side, he has power in his hand, has his armoured jeeps with black glass, has the money of Kosovo taxpayers who distribute and abuse Kosovo citizens to buy votes. On the other hand, there's no responsibility in front of the international community because it works as a task leader.

And what he has done now and almost two years to himself, which in most cases he has led with a taskman, will also try to do with Albulen Hadziu, which 24 hours will serve his destabilising agenda. And I think, citizens of the Republic of Kosovo have seen who is guilty. Albin Kurti wants no dialogue, Albin Kurti will not compromise, Albin Kurti wants no political agreement with any Albanian party in the Republic of Kosovo. Therefore, he made this show he did and Kosovo went to the polls. But once again I'm warning the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo, I've done it the first time in the election: so, if the citizens have thought and thought that this man left it, I think we're wrong, because he's going to try to get us back into the election after these elections are over“, he said.

Commenting on the offer made by Kurti in the final hours of the Constitutional Court's deadline for the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), including the proposal for Vjosa Osmani as president, Behrami described it as not serious and part of a political strategy.

“Yes, there is an impression of Mr. Kurti that the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo are all illiterate and do not understand and pay no attention to what has happened so far. Because so far there have been two ways to elect the president of the Republic of Kosovo: 1. Through complete consensus, as in the case of Atifete Jahjaga. 2. Through political agreements, as has Mr. Hashim Thaci, Mr. Ibrahim Rugova, Ms. Osmani, and so on. So there are two ways to make the president in the Republic of Kosovo. And Mr. Kurt invented the third, race route. So last night what she's been hiding was blown out. In all meetings with political leaders, Kurt didn't want a solution. He didn't want president because the president has Albulen Hadziu.

As she became a task leader, Albin Kurti later was only political installation to blame others and victimize in order to create a new campaign for the elections that await us“, Behrami added.

On 28 April, the Kosovo Constitutional Court's deadline for electing the president has expired, while the Assembly has already been disbanded and the country has gone to the polls.

On 30 April, Kosovo President Albulen Haxhiu's post, after meeting with representatives of political parties, announced that early elections date has been scheduled for June 7th.
