He was criticized by the USA, Kurti: I respect you, but the people elected me

After the criticism he received from the United States of America, the prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has reacted officially.

He commented on the tense relationship with the USA after the situation in the north of the country.

Kurti said that he had communication with the American ambassador, Jeffrey Hovenier, but even though he has respect for him, he was chosen by the people and he should stand up to them.

" To this people, I have to become a god, because that's why they brought me to this chair. I have the highest appreciation and respect for Ambassador Hovenier, I can say strongly especially compared to all other ambassadors, but the people voted for me, the ambassador did not appoint me. You must understand this, the people of Kosovo voted for me, the people of Kosovo vote for you, the people even remove you. It is not an appointment of the prime minister, the prime minister is the choice of the one who is the source of sovereignty", said Kurti.

Kurti said that it is not normal for him to agree with everything that is asked of him by the ambassadors.

 "I have been cooperating with QUINT ambassadors, the EU and the American, for two years. We don't always agree on everything. It is not normal to agree on everything" , said Kurti.
