The new co-head of Kosovo’s negotiating team with Serbia has changed his colours so often that many analysts fear the once popular activist has lost his former credibility.

On a February day, as he climbed the stairs of Prishtina Basic Court, Shpend Ahmeti left behind years of political activities that had made him one of the most popular politicians in Kosovo.

Inspired by a public debate on a tender to supply schools in Prishtina with milk, he was taking his former party, Vetevendosje, to court for defamation.

After submitting the lawsuit, he accused its leader, Albin Kurti of being behind allegations made against him. “He throws stones and hides his hand… It would be good to go face with him on all topics, and not hide behind others,” Ahmeti said.
