US: We are disappointed with Kurti's recent actions and statements

Chargé d'Affaires at the United States Embassy in Kosovo, Anu Prattipati, said that Washington is disappointed with the positions of the acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, which, according to her, are increasing "instability in Kosovo."

"We are disappointed by the recent actions and statements of the acting Prime Minister Kurti, which have increased instability and insecurity in Kosovo. These actions undermine the political process, weaken Kosovo's institutions, and exacerbate interethnic tensions," the American diplomat said in a response to Koha.

She warned that the United States is considering its response, "but let me be clear, any action that undermines political and economic stability is a serious challenge to our partnership," Prattipati said.

Recently, Kurti, who is also the leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, has criticized the Constitutional Court for delays in decisions during his mandate and accused the state's highest court of bias, saying that it is close to Albanian parties that were in opposition last term.

The Constitutional Court has reacted to these statements by Kurti and the deputy chairman of the LVV, Glauk Konjufca, saying that her impartiality is protected by the Constitution and no "institution, political party or individual can interfere in her work."

The Constitutional Court is currently handling a case submitted by the Serbian List – the main Serb party in Kosovo that has the support of Belgrade – which opposes the separation of voting for the deputy speaker of the Assembly from non-Serb minorities and from the Serb community.

The court has imposed a temporary measure, preventing any action in the Assembly until September 30th, as well as any procedure for the election of the new Government.

Kurti's party has also recently made unsuccessful attempts to ban the Serbian List from participating in the local elections on October 12. Although the Central Election Commission voted to decertify this party, higher instances, the Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel and the Supreme Court, overturned this decision.

Shortly before the CEC vote, Prattipati had expressed concern about any attempt to limit Serb parties' participation in local elections. She raised this concern after a meeting with Kurti on August 21.

The LVV had attempted to prevent the Serbian List from participating in the February parliamentary elections, but the highest instances overturned the decision to not certify it./ REL
