German diplomats are still angry with Hashim Thaci over the arrest of two members of the German Intelligence Service in Kosovo in 2008. Germans reportedly favor Kadri Veseli as leader of the PDK and also because his name is not mentioned in Dick Marty’s report.
Diplomatic sources in Brussels told Botapress that German diplomats predict that after the PDK loses national elections, Veseli will become party leader. Veseli is in fact the only PDK official that visited Germany lately. The PDK deputy leader visited Berlin in January and met with German diplomats close to Chancellor Angela Merkel. Veseli’s visit was seen as “breaking the ice” between Germany and the PDK.
