“Who would have thought that on an average Kosovar day, eight years after the independence, rightfully or not, one party would see the other as Milosevic’s regime, while the other would see the first one as ISIS force,” writes Lumir Abdixhiku today and adds that clashes in Kosovo have reached very far. He does not see a calm future of Kosovo and considers that clashes among the political parties would not end naturally without an intervention from abroad. “As far as internal intervention is concerned, I have lost all hopes. Some presupposed bright minds are even inducing more violent confrontation during each of their statements. Instead of calming the situation or mediating to find a solution, they call for more violence.”
He considers that an external intervention as in the case of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, could assure an easy transition towards new elections. Abdixhiku does not expect major changes of the political composition after the new elections; however, he expects changes on the strength of arguments of the parties. “Certainly, the ambition of a person to become President remains hostage of the new solution for Kosovo. More because of the immunity toward the prosecutions of the special court than for the power, this individual ambition has put the entire country at the edge,” writes Abdixhiku and adds that if it was not for this intention, current clashes would have ended long time ago.
According to Abdixhiku, transformation of the clashes among the political parties into the clashes at the main square, is the least thing that Kosovo needs right now. “The first thing that the country needs right now is a national consensus among the parties, a consensus without any distinction and without blaming any of the political subjects. So, let us say that the determinant factor of the right and wrong will be the citizen of Kosovo on the Election Day, whenever it happens. And, the longer the delay of some foreign intervention the more the national consensus in Kosovo is endangered,” Abdixhiku concludes.
