Into obscurity and indifference (Koha Ditore)
Columnist Lumir Abdixhiku says he doesn’t understand why Slovenia should come to the assistance of Serbia by detaining leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) Ramush Haradinaj. Abdixhiku adds that detention of anyone from Kosovo on purely political basis of another country gives a bitter taste to Kosovo’s dignity. Once Slovenia decided to recognise Kosovo as an independent country, it was supposed to consult Kosovo authorities on the authenticity and the nature of Serbia’s arrest warrants, suggests Abdixhiku. “It should have behaved as a European country, as did other countries through which listed individuals have travelled to for many years now.” The case in Slovenia, writes Abdixhiku, is a typical product of negligence and obscurity that Kosovo developed with the outside world in the last sixteen years by remaining indifferent to Serbia’s efforts to undermine everything. Mesmerized by the greed for power, Kosovo institution leaders failed to even register the people killed by Serb forces in the 1998-99 conflict or record the war damages. “As if this was not enough, when we were asked to sit with them at the same table, with the killers and the successors that know nothing of regret, we had nothing to say to them: no numbers, no names, nothing. As a result, we sat across the table in an inferior position not even asking them to apologise,” writes Abdixhiku. Slovenia, of course, deserves to get blasted for becoming Serbia’s tool the main culprit for what happened in Ljubljana two days ago is with “those who continue to treat everything with indifference and no dignity.”
