US and EU rebuke Albin Kurti over his handling of recent clashes triggered by ethnic Albanian mayors taking office
Kosovo’s prime minister, Albin Kurti, has said he is prepared to consider early elections in Serb-majority northern Kosovo, as some British sources expressed concern that the US and EU are making a mistake by threatening their ally with punishment over his handling of recent violent clashes in the region.
A former UK ambassador claimed the EU envoy to Kosovo should stand aside while the UK foreign affairs select committee chair, Alicia Kearns, warned the US against disproportionate punishment of Kurti. But the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said Kurti had made mistakes and he would be meeting him jointly with the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz.
