6 minutes agoAmerican gas, Osman, and Obadiah: Today's US stance clear message for Kosovo strategic future
Periskopi(21 days ago)
(21 days ago)Today, loaded with jobs by the United States, Annu Prattipati, has called for Kosovo to accept American gas projects, stressing that, the possibility to join these projects is closing, and that, in the future, Kosovo will increasingly depend on its neighbours for the current.
In this regard, Lumir Abdixhiku and Vjosa Osmani have reacted, of which, among other things, have been said, the US stance is a clear message to Kosovo's security and strategic future.
In response, it also says, Kosovo risks remaining the only country in the Western Balkans outside the strategic corridors of American gas and outside the new energy and security architecture being built in the region.
The reality is simple: if we don't choose the United States, we've chosen our enemies. The main alternative to integration into American energy projects remains increasing dependence on resources and other geopolitical influences, including Russian ones, said among other things.

Today's position of the United States is a clear message to Kosovo's security and strategic future.
The issue of American gas is not just an economic issue. It's not just lower prices, energy security, new jobs or industrial development. It is part of the security architecture the United States is building in Europe and the Western Balkans.
In today's world, energy security is national security.
Unfortunately, in recent years, Kosovo has left this strategic project, while spending over 1 billion euros on electricity imports. Instead of diversification, we've seen stagnation. Instead of strategic partnership with the United States, we have seen lost time and irrational reasoning.
Today we face a disturbing reality: Kosovo risks remaining the only country in the Western Balkans outside the strategic corridors of American gas and outside the new energy and security architecture being built in the region.
This self - rejection is not just economic loss. It's a strategic loss. In addition to less investment, less development, and less jobs, this means even more vulnerability to Kosovo's national security.
The reality is simple: if we don't choose the United States, we've chosen our enemies. The main alternative to integration into American energy projects remains increasing dependence on resources and other geopolitical influences, including Russian ones. Therefore, Kosovo's alignment with the United States should also be reflected in our energy policy.
As we have already made clear, including during this campaign, the LDK is convinced that Kosovo's state interest is based on long-term energy partnership with the United States, integration into regional gas projects, diversification of energy resources and strengthening of national security. Therefore, from the beginning of the mandate, we will implement in full this state policy by bringing American gas to Kosovo.
Because energy is not just an economy.
Energy is security.
Energy is sovereignty.
Energy is an alliance.
And Kosovo should be part of this alliance, not outside of it.
