Kosovo Government doesn’t share Eide’s opinion

Lajm reports that the Kosovo Government does not share the opinion of Ambassador Kai Eide on the implementation of standards. The newspaper says regardless of Eide’s statement that he is disappointed with lack of progress in Standards implementation. However political advisor to Prime Minister Kosumi says the Government has made considerable progress implementing the Standards.

‘The Kosovo Government is close to finalising the plan for Standards until the end of the year. We are also seriously thinking of preparing an action strategy for Standards that will be called ‘Standards toward Europe’, even after the resolution of Kosovo’s final status,’ said Naser Rugova, PM Kosumi’s political advisor.

The newspaper recalls that in an interview for ISN Security Watch, Ambassador Eide said he would have liked to see more progress and political maturity in Kosovo. Asked to comment on the issue, the PM’s advisor said Eide’s statement was surprising to the Government. He added that due to insufficient competencies, Kosovans cannot be expected to make major accomplishments in the area of standards.

The paper quotes former Prime Minister and senior member of the PDK, Bajram Rexhepi, as saying, ‘one can notice more words than concrete actions for standards’.

I cannot but realize how UNPATRIOTIC and IMMATURE Kosovar Albanian leaders are today.

For God's sake let aside your differences and unite to achieve the common goal and then you can kill each other if you want in a Jerry Springer setting.

If any of the leaders says that they fought for a better future of Kosova - he is LYING. They expected a better future for their selfish a.es.

Albanians should riot and overthrow this government, which is made out of former shepherds, and install an apolitical one to take us forward.

Best,

Can anyone tell me who Eide is? I don't understand why in the world is he waisting time trying to find hair in the egg :). Presently Kosovo provides better human rights in real terms than any other nation in the world.

Chris Blaku, first let me clear out something. I never mentioned R Haradinaj in my comment. Btw he was one of the few honest ones and they had to take him away. I was mainly talking about PDK vs LDK.

And also by fight I didn't only mean fighting with weapons, but also by peaceful means that some adopted.

If anyone fought to end Serbia's illegal occupation of Kosova it was done to make life better for Kosovars not just to do the right thing.

THIS is where the contradiction takes place. If they fought couple of years ago to make life less miserable for Albanians, today they are hurting the interests of the same people they fought for. How do you explain this?

What the world will think of Kosovars if they overthrow the government?
They will see that Kosovars are unable to accept corrupted leaders, who have taken those positions to benefit themselves solely. Leaders who can't agree in ONE national flag and one anthem and encourage violence against each other have no place in a democratic government.

I think that what is happening now in Kosova is being viewed much more negatively (and rightly so) by the west and is hurting us much more than if we tried to root off corruption.

Best,
Mr. F

I think you are avoiding to stress the point that I am making. I am not against having many parties and have competition between them, but that only when you have responsible leaders that work for the common goal. I think that Kosovars are facing huge market failure in this regard.

No matter what the percentages of voters are, I bet you that more than 99% of them would want independence for Kosova. PDK and LDK and their animosity is not helping us get there. What does that tell you? They ought to go.

It is something else to have different views in issues such as trade, taxes and so on, but not agreeing in ONE national flag and anthem?

They are not arguing which is the best way to take Kosova forward. In fact they don't even have different strategies in doing that. They agree and BS all day that Kosova should be Independent. But the thirst for power is making them forget that goal. Like that moron who went to play baby games with Serbs.

I am guessing this is good according to you since it creates competition and puts pressure into these parties (now Rugova will call Tadiq for a game too). It also put pressure in some to go and throw couple of bombs in Pristina just because Luan Krasniqi waved Rugova's flag instead of the Albanian flag :), and of course made the news the next day all over the world.

When each party proposes e different flag for the nation and cannot agree in one, that is a good indicator that they are stubborn and unable to compromise, and will do anything to get it their way. Is that politics too? Because as far as I know compromise is a major part of being a politican.

I disagree with you - I think it should be Rugova's flag :).

I did not know that Serbs were caught throwing the bombs in Pristina - thanks for updating me on that.

I don't see a point in pushing you further to believe that the energy spent fighting over our national flag and anthem would be of a much better use if it was directed towards preparing for negotiations and toward progressive ideas and actions.

If they both were as good as you are portraying them than they would at least talk to each other. If both have a common goal (independence) tell me why there exists so much anger and hate between them? Or better, tell me how each party wants to achieve Kosova's independence, and how they strategies differ?

Imagine the democrats leaving the Capitol if something is not voted in their favor in Washington. Come on, they (our leaders) are stubborn, shortsighted, and should be removed.

Best,
Mr. F

Ramush Haradinaj honest?!? BHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHa

Its clear to me that neither of you have been to his region in Kosova and see what goes on there. His family's territory is a mafia state where they extort money from businesses as protection money. He is a sack of shit.

At least he moved Kosova forward. Thaqi is a thief and is still keeping is us behind with his stupid comments.

SOme are fit to fight and very and I mean very unfit to govern.

I am sorry I didn't get your last question.

The pre-independence period was in the 18th century America. Are you saying that we are that far behind? Are you comparing a group of farmers who came from all over with Kosovars, who have lived in the same land for milleniums?

If Dems and Reps did not walk out on each other after independence, and yet had to deal with the creation of a nation out of nothing, with mixes of people with extreme diverse backgrounds and beliefs, Kosovars leaders should kiss and make out day and night, while working towards the common goal.

I hope now you realize what is bothering me.

Cheers,
Mr. F

I hope Kosovo will get it's independency very soon. Also Serbia should let Kosovo go. Then we will see which one gets into EU first. My wild guess is that Kosovo will never be part of EU...
