Albin Kurti: Can Kosovo bond with its ethnic Serbs? | Talk to Al Jazeera

As 2022 was drawing to a close, the Balkans was once again on the verge of ethnic conflict.

Tensions had built up in July in northern Kosovo, and the situation escalated even further in December as ethnic Serb protesters blocked roads and cut off border crossings with Serbia.

After weeks of unrest, tensions have eased. But how fragile is this sense of calm? And how will Kosovo address its deep ethnic divisions?

The prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, talks to Al Jazeera.

Not just the Prime Minister, but also the kosovar/Albanians have been inviting citizens to join Authorities and giving same rights as the rest of people living there have. The problem here is with Belgrade trying to Destabilize the region, its Serbian war Criminals living in Serbia who are threatening its own people living in Kosovo and using them as a toy for their own criminal moves, Now that is a problem, Kosovo’s Authorities shouldn’t play Serbian dirty games and concentrate on their own economy and improve their daily lives for all its Citizens. Well done to the Republic of Kosovo,
Greetings from UK 🇬🇧 🇽🇰

To all serbs that are watching this while Reading








Just watch and learn how a real leader should act

[ilirepellazge]

Prime Minister Kurti is the only prime minister in the Balkans who is not corrupt and connected to criminal gangs. Mr. Kurti is an intellectual and uncorrupted person.
Unfortunately, the Milosevic regime still dominates in Serbia. Aleksader Vucic, Ivica Dacic,
Vulin and many employees in the security of Serbia who lead the Serbian state were Milosevic's right hand.
The new Kosovo Serbs who are against the government of Kosovo are the ones who have 3 salaries and you have been damaged by their criminal activities in Kosovo. In 2022, 12 cocaine laboratories were damaged in the north and many other types of Serbian criminals were damaged who were operating freely in the north, uncontrolled by anyone. That is, during the 20 years, the center of criminality was in the north of Kosovo.
Serbia or Vucic do not care about the Serbs of Kosovo, because this state has not done anything for the Serbs in Kosovo, it has not opened any factories to employ them, but Serbia has only criminalized the north of Kosovo and used them for its own purposes. Serbia does not want the Serbs of Kosovo, Serbia wants the wealth of Kosovo.
Kosovo is a big importer of Serbian goods, this does not hinder the fascist regime in Serbia. The population in the north of Kosovo has not paid electricity bills for 20 years, these bills are paid by the government of Kosovo. Serbia should let Serbs live and work in Kosovo. Serbia is the core of the problem it creates in Kosovo.

It doesn’t matter how democratic Kosovo is the Serbian government does not want peace because they won’t the northern Kosovo because of Mines and Minerals in that part (Trepca).
Is the war possible off corse in the last 120 years they committed 4 time atrocities and ethnic cleansing against Kosovars Albanian population

[albertdula]

Serbian armey killed over 1 million people on 1912 -1913 and removed 750 Village's on way to Turkey.

Kosova kurrë ska pas as sdo të ketë një Krye ministër të tillë, zgjohuni qytetar mbështetëni vetveten nga të liga.që po ju brengos.

[leart]

Albin Kurti is probably the best thing that happened for the serbs in kosova.

[Albanian_History]

🇦🇱❤️🇽🇰 Kosovo will come home to us one day as well as illirida, mal i zi, Cameria and sandzak, Presevo valley 😊

[AlbanianGunClub]

It isn't called Kosova; It is Dardania.

[happykitten]

i love you ALL
my best wishes thoughts prayers and meditations for ALL
ONE 💛

[curleddoughnuts]

Serbs denied rights…? Lol there are 100, 000 Albanians in Serbia alone why don’t you ask how they’re doing?

[lokluma]

Kosova is independent state and as such it will govern as a state. Serbia the perpetuator state must either stop or else get out of Europe -go to Carpathian Mountains.

[etnalutt]

There are No ethinc serbs; they were relocated to Kosovo. Kosovo was occupied by Serbia 3 times for about 200 years.
That doesn't make them ethnic

[kastriotnura]

Shpresoj herën tjetër të japi "votën" e merituar, njerit të duhar!

[donp]

King kurti of kosova Serbia you failed your country is headless chickens Serbia is falling apart the king has arrived in Kosovo also NATO, USA is part of kosovo

[newguy]

There will never be peace until there is politicians, military and elites who work against their own people to maintain their hierarchy. The people would have figured it out on their own a long time ago just like they do as immigrants in other countries. I think people are people and without evil influence are ok together. Serbs and Albanians need to govern the people together if they want to be together. So when the elites unite the people will too because it isn't their decision.
