The paper’s Brussels-based correspondent, Augustin Palokaj, in an opinion piece today writes that the European Union considers Kosovo as a safe place of origin in terms of access to asylum seekers from Kosovo. But, according to him, the EU and many member states consider the security situation in Kosovo still “fragile”. “The EU also faces a logical question: If Kosovo is a safe place, then why it needs foreign soldiers and police officers. But there is also another argument: Kosovo is safe precisely because there are also foreign soldiers and police officers to ensure its safety,” Palokaj writes. “This is another paradox for Kosovo. This paradox in fact proves that except for the Kosovo authorities, also the European Union and the international community must bear the responsibility for the current situation in Kosovo,” Palokaj concludes.
