Gudens: Austria should reconsider recognition of Kosovo (Koha online)
The deputy leader of Austira’s Freedom Party, Johan Gudenus, stated that the wave of the emigrants from Kosovo that western Europe is facing is a proof that Kosovo’s independence and its recognition was a mistake. He added that the United States, as supporters of independence, should take over the responsibility. Gudenus stressed that despite the fact that Kosovo is not a war zone any more, thousands of people are at Austria’s borders. He said that the reason why so many people are leaving a state, which is claimed to be functional, should be considered. He said that this creature is not capable to survive as an independent state. “The U.S. has for obligation to accept emigrants from Kosovo because it is the spiritual and geo-strategic eye of that state, therefore they should take over the responsibility,” said Gudenus. He also added that Austria has exceeded its capacity of accepting emigrants and that if it accepts economic refugees such as those from Kosovo, it will not be able to help those who are really in need. He requested to stop implementation of Schengen agreement and return control of the borders.
