The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, told Voice of America that he does not understand the reactions of the Turkish President toward him, and stressed that no one from outside can make decisions for Kosovo’s internal affairs.
PM Haradinaj said he does not want to prejudge about who ordered the operation of arrests and deportation, which according to him was some kind of steeling people from Kosovo.
Haradinaj said Kosovo is careful on its relations with all the countries, including the Republic of Turkey. “We are grateful for recognition, support on the international plan and membership at international organisations…There is obscurity, on detention of six Turkish citizens in Kosovo and their deportation, so the manner of revocation of their residence permit was done by a very fast procedure and secret deportation and based on this and the fact that I was not informed, made me come up with the decision to irrevocably dismiss the Minister of Interior and the director of Kosovo’s Intelligence Agency. Reactions of the President (Erdogan) are not understandable to me. We do not interfere in Turkey’s internal affairs, these are our internal affairs and no one will make decisions on Kosovo’s internal affairs,” Haradinaj said.
