It is expected that Ramush Haradinaj’s resignation would unblock Belgrade-Pristina negotiations, and the tariffs would be suspended temporarily, Belgrade-based daily Blic reports.
According to the daily, all powerful centers had suggested to Haradinaj to suspend imposed tariffs, and the problem was in the fact that he was an explicit opponent of any border corrections or reaching any compromise between Belgrade and Pristina.
Haradinaj went out of control, even when it comes to the Americans. He absolutely did not want to listen to any suggestions. Such an aggressive attitude and moves that followed, led both Belgrade and Pristina into a state of frozen conflict, accompanied by sporadic incidents on the ground,” source from diplomatic circles in Pristina has told Blic. The source adds Haradinaj refused even to talk with Hashim Thaci and Kadri Veseli.
Pristina speculates who gave Haradinaj a green light, along with the guarantees that the tariffs and insistence on an “undivided, independent Kosovo” should be pushed for months, and as it turned out, to the moment of his indictment, which, judging by Haradinaj’s attitude while announcing his resignation, came as an unpleasant surprise and a shock to him, daily said.
“According to available data from various sources Haradinaj relied on the Brits, but this does not mean that they, despite all the aspirations of Europe and USA, aggressively insisted on the views Haradinaj propagated,” the diplomat from Pristina told Blic.
