The paper’s columnist Lumir Abdixhiku says it is fortunate that in the last two decades Kosovo has managed to keep the US by its side and only thanks to its support did it transform into an independent country. However, Kosovo has not used this support to the full but the first thing it should do it to ensure continuity of this support, suggests Abdixhiku. And the recent confirmation of the US support to Kosovo that came from the Secretary of State Kerry is important and fundamental not only for the survival of Kosovo as an independent state but also for its international consolidation. However, the visits of the US officials and their expressed support to Kosovo institutions are often transformed into individual and party support while calls for fight of corruption often left ignored. Such was the case this time with Secretary Kerry’s visit, points out Abdixhiku with the Government of Kosovo pledging to fight corruption only to appoint the next day to a senior post a person that was once dismissed for corruption. At the same time, the opposition, partly guided by ignorance and partly by ideological beliefs, has always linked the government with the state and thus tried to devalue the state support by tying it up with the local political class.  The views of the US diplomacy should however be viewed through a different perspective, that of Kosovo’s future and in this context Abdixhiku claims to have identified three such messages conveyed during Kerry’s visit. The first and foremost is that Kosovo’s security and sovereignty is guaranteed by the leading global force such as the US. Second, that without a zero-tolerance battle against corruption Kosovo will never be able to attract foreign investment and open new jobs. Third, “that for as long as we manage to seek protection of sovereignty and for as long as we prove that agreements with Serbia are not within this sovereignty, we will have a powerful ally by our side.”
