Kosovo protests

Haradinaj claimed that Prime Minister Albin Kurti could be "spy of Serbia for threatening Kosovo's alliance with the USA and NATO".
Haradinaj called for the dismissal of Prime Minister Kurti and his government a national emergency and urged MPs to be part of the vote of no confidence.

Several thousand people gathered in Belgrade to protest against a Western-backed deal to normalize ties between Kosovo and Serbia, which they view as recognition of Kosovo independence.

The decision by the Kosovo government at the weekend to introduce new reciprocity measures against Serbia has sharply divided opinion at home and abroad, with the EU slating the move and some domestic leaders, including the President, also condemning it.

Kosovo's Gazette Express reports that the United States is considering withdrawing its troops from Kosovo if Pristina does not remove customs duties on goods from Serbia.

This motive could be, according to media reports, to exert pressure on Belgrade to agree to continue the dialogue with Pristina, without Pristina abolishing its taxes on Serbian products first.

According to the website Gazeta Express, Thaci has been asked to submit a report to the parliament about his actions in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.

Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has announced "a new platform for the dialogue with Belgrade."

At the same time, he said Pristina's "condition" for the EU-mediated Belgrade-Pristina negotiations is that a US representative also be at the table.
