Kosovo heads for constitutional changes

20/10/2011

Public debates on the new constitutional changes in Kosovo aim to influence the election of the new president.

By Linda Karadaku for Southeast European Times in Pristina — 20/10/11

The debate over new constitutional changes could help shape the election platform of potential presidential candidates. For the first time ever, Kosovo’s president will be chosen in a direct public election. The date has not been set yet.

NGO coalition KDI — the Kosovo Democratic Institute — is co-organising the debates, along with the Commission for Amendment of Kosovo Constitution.

Citizens differ on the topic of the future president. Some advocate the election of a Kosovo-born president; others say those born outside of Kosovo should have the same opportunity for candidacy.

TAGESSPIEGEL: TAQI IN EUROPA UNERWÜNSCHT
21.10.11

Das Kabinett des Kosovo-Premiers Hashim Taqi hat den Staatschefs der 27 EU-Länder Anträge für einen Besuch in diesen Ländern gesandt, und alle wurden abgelehnt, schreibt das deutsche Blatt Tagesspiegel und überträgt das in Pristina erscheinende Zeri. Der Tagesspiegel schreibt, Taqis Anträge seien abgelehnt worden weil der begründete Verdacht besteht, dass er in organisiertes Verbrechen verwickelt ist.

German daily: Thaci involved in organized crime

PRIŠTINA — Kosovo PM Hashim Thaci’s government has sent 27 invitations to EU member states’s leaders to visit Kosovo, Berlin-based daily Der Tagesspiegel has reported.

Hashim Thaci
According to the German daily, Thaci’s invitations were rejected under suspicion that he is involved in organized crime.

Kosovo officials have, however, rejected the article as irrelevant and Deputy Prime Minister Hajredin Kuci has refused to comment on it.

“I didn’t read it, so I cannot comment on it,” he told Priština-based Albanian language daily Zeri.

Kosovo opposition parties’ representatives say that the article shows the “invisible” side of the government and isolation of Kosovo.

Self-Determination Movement’s Florin Krasniqi says that if someone looked at Thaci’s luxurious way of life it would be easy to understand that he does not make a living off his monthly salary, “but that he is involved in business and criminal activities”.

“Thaci comes to Kosovo assembly sessions wearing Hermes ties that cost EUR 300 to 500. Only a criminal or a billionaire businessman can afford such ties,” he explained.

“I think that Thaci belongs to the first category and the whole world knows that he is a plan criminal,” Krasniqi added.

He also claims he has proof that the Kosovo prime minister is involved in organized crime.

“Kosovo has two options – to keep Thaci or build itself. We, the citizens, need to decide whether we want to defend Thaci or to build Kosovo as a democratic state,” the Self-Determination Movement official stressed.

Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) official Burim Ramadani points out that Thaci has isolated Kosovo.

“We witness that there are no visits on a high level. Kosovo remains an isolated country due to suspicions regarding Thaci. It is harmful and it affects Kosovo,” he pointed out.

The AAK official added that he did not read the article in the German daily but that he did not doubt that Thaci’s requests were rejected.

Analysts point out that articles such as the one in Der Tagesspiegel additionally tarnish Kosovo’s reputation.

Political analyst Avni Zogiani says he is not surprised that the world leaders refuse to meet with Kosovo government officials because he believes “that Kosovo leaders are corrupt criminals”.

According to him, the opinion that Kosovo leaders are involved in organized crime is also keeping potential investors away.

“Deutschland Radio”: Thaçi, “persona non grata”, sekret i Evropës

Prishtinë, 19 korrik - Hashim Thaçi njihet si “persona non-grata”, sekret i Evropës. Kështu ka vlerësuar radioja publike gjermane, Deutschland Radio, sipas të cilës, Kosova është një vend i zhytur në korrupsion, pa perspektivë për të rinjtë, të cilët kryeministrin Thaçi e konsiderojnë si simbol të mafisë, transmeton KTV. Radio gjermane tregon se kënga e Trojës, “Amaneti i Clownit”, është bërë himni i pakënaqësisë kundër gjendjes aktuale për të rinjtë kosovarë. Të rinjtë kosovarë, sipas kësaj radioje, e shohin kryeministrin Thaçi si burim të të këqijave në Kosovë. “Por, Hashim Thaçi është në pushtet, përkrahet nga Amerika dhe e sheh si garantuesin e stabilitetit politik. Në Evropë prakitikisht është izoluar. Shumë pak zyrtarë të lartë qeveritarë nga Gjermania, Franca apo edhe shtetet e tjera të BE-së e kanë vizituar Prishtinën kohëve të fundit. Hashim Thaçi njihet si “person non-grata”, sekret i Evropës. Kjo është përforcuar kur e bëri një biznesmen të dyshimtë president, e edhe kur u raportua në Evropë se është peshku i madh i mafias kosovare, që pas luftës trafikoi drogë dhe armë dhe ishte përfshirë edhe në trafikim organesh njerëzore. Kryeministri e mbrojti veten, duke hedhur poshtë akuzat”, raporton më tej radioja. Ngushëllimi i vetëm, sipas radios gjermane, mbetet kënga e Trojës

Intense American interest for developments in Thrace

October 21, 2011

A secret document (No. 1044 / 12 September 2008) of the National Intelligence Service (EYP), revealed by the magazine “Epikaira”, reports the intense involvement in Thrace of the U.S. Consulate in Thessaloniki. According to the document the ultimate goal was the manipulation of the Greek Muslim minority and its subsequent exploitation to serve American interests in the region.

The Greek secret services highlighted the very strong interest shown by U.S. officials on issues related to minority education, going so far as to exert pressure even on a specific teacher working in a minority elementary school in the village Megalos Dereios in Evros. The teacher was the well-known Chara Nikopoulou, who, after having provoked the wrath of the Turkish consulate in Komotini, because she strongly argued that her students being Pomaks are not Turks, she was subsequently targeted by the Greek Ministry of Education, which swiftly transferred her, criticizing her for exercising foreign policy inside the school.

A classified document of the Southeast Europe Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dated 19 May 2008, which describes the actions of the U.S. Consulate in Thessaloniki in the area as “highly suspicious and beyond any authority “ (Greek daily “Proto Thema”, 06/15/2008).
