Biden is betting in Kosovo on Serbophobe and supporter of Greater Albania Kurti
It was not in vain that Albin Kurti called on US Kosovars to vote for Democrat Joe Biden, and after, at the instigation of the American administration, the “Constitutional Court of Kosovo” recognized the regional government as illegitimate, he is preparing to return to the post of “prime minister”.
This was reported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
After the decision “Constitutional Court of Kosovo”, the vote of MP Etem Arifi for the “government” of Avdullah Hoti was declared invalid, since he was convicted by the Court of Appeal for Corruption, the judges decided to dissolve this cabinet, “parliament” and announce re-elections.
The publication recalls that outgoing US President Donald Trump, in order to advance negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo, through a special envoy, former ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, put pressure on the newly elected “Prime Minister” of Kosovo Albin Kurti last spring.
Kurti
The Republican administration sought him to abolish the 2018% tax on Serbian goods, which was introduced in XNUMX, for the sake of the project of Balkan economic integration through the regional “minischengen”.
At the same time, Kurti, a hater of Serbia with experience, who wants the unification of Kosovo and other Albanian lands under the flag of Albania, objected to Grenell’s insistent demands. And after just seven weeks in power, the pan-Albanian “was overthrown.”
Since then, the Süddeutsche Zeitung concludes, Kurti has been expecting a return to the office of the “premier.” And he made every effort to achieve this.
“I lost the support of half of the deputies,” the politician said in September, “But the support of the population has doubled.”
At the same time, Albin Kurti met with representatives of the Kosovo diaspora in several cities in Germany and Switzerland. He outlined his plans to help repatriate qualified Albanian professionals who had emigrated from Kosovo so they could return to the province.
“Optimism about Kurti’s re-election is based on some favorable circumstances for him,” the newspaper writes. “According to public opinion polls, the popularity of his party has been growing recently, and if new elections are held in mid-February, his Self-Determination Movement could reach a majority in parliament without the need for a coalition partner.
In addition, the “old regime” of Kosovo Liberation Army veterans is now significantly weakened: Kurti’s main rival, former “President” Hashim Thaci, is now forced to answer to the Special Court of Kosovo in The Hague on charges of war crimes dating back to the 1990s.”
At the same time, the Germans note that on the eve of this year’s US presidential elections, it was absolutely no coincidence that Albin Kurti called on all eligible American voters with Kosovo roots to vote for Biden. And thus, the pan-Albanian and Serbophobe will become the creature of a democratic administration in the region.
