Abazi: Relations with international allies alarmingly deteriorated

The Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs chairman and Self-Determination Movement Minister Haki Abazi said that the dialogue had been producing a fragile structure of relations with Serbia for ten years, and as he pointed out, that was destroyed in just one day by the Serbs' withdrawal from Kosovo institutions, as reported by Albanian newspaper Reporteri.

The fact that the US was disappointed with Kosovo because of the latest situation and the refusal to extend the deadline for new license plates implementation, Abazi described as a disaster.

"Everything is public nowadays. It is unfortunate that we have unclear opinions on the issue of license plates and the CSM (Community of Serb Municipalities). We definitely must take the first step in this situation. It is alarming how much we have deteriorated relations with international allies and how we found ourselves in the situation we are now in", Abazi said.

Abazi indicated that it was an urgent issue for political actors to return to the table "to design a foreign policy and well-analyzed positions", as he said. He also expressed his readiness to get involved in that.

"The partners asked for the license plates agreement extension and the CSM agreement implementation. As people say - 'it's a wolf in sheep's clothing'. It was clear who brought it. It happened in difficult times and under very suspicious circumstances, by those who were not in politics", Abazi concluded.
