The deputy chairman of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lutfi Haziri, says that the regulation of the Central Bank of Kosovo (CBK), which removes the dinar from use and allows only the euro as currency, is legitimate, but not at the right time, inappropriate, and uncoordinated with international allies. According to him, the international allies have lost patience with the Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, and that this situation will not pass without consequences.
Haziri, in an interview for KosovaPress, criticizes the chief negotiator for dialogue, Besnik Bislimi, for a wrong approach to this process and not at all diplomatic language with allies. According to him, the executive made the CBK regulation, which is an internal issue of the country, a topic in the Brussels dialogue.
Haziri, citing Kurti’s past decisions on the issue of license plates and others, says that he will accept the demands of the allies to postpone the decision on the dinar, but the consequences for the country will remain.
The deputy chairman of LDK considers the decision on the dinar as related to the delay in the implementation of the obligations in the dialogue.
According to him, the “elephant in the room” is the draft statute of the Association, for which Prime Minister Kurti is not proceeding further.
He asks the executive to implement the Brussels Basic Agreement, however, Haziri points out that Kurti and Vucic want to buy time to wait for the elections and changes in the European Union and the USA.
On the other hand, Haziri criticizes the government for failure and stagnation in internal governance.
Speaking about the new elections in Kosovo, Haziri says that all internal polls favor the LDK, much higher than the last polls. According to him, the main race in the next elections will be between LDK and LVV, for the first place.
