The beginning of the end of Kosovar “Maoists” (Koha Ditore)
Political analyst Halil Matoshi argues in an opinion piece that “with individuals escaping and negotiating justice and the state seized by a criminal organization, Kosovo is on the verge of the abyss – the failure of the state. The publication of reports prepared by NATO and Swiss intelligence services, at this time, is a strong message that democracies that supported Kosovo’s freedom don’t want a state seized by criminal-mafia structures, but rather a state in the hands of the people of Kosovo who should be left free to build credible and accountable institutions”. Matoshi argues that “Kosovo’s powerful allies will not allow the criminal structure to steal away the last remaining dimes of the people of Kosovo”. “Six years after the declaration of independence, no EU official (especially Germans) thinks about taking pictures with certain former KLA members in offices in Pristina, because they know that most of them have abused political power, killed and blackmailed people, threatened witnesses and intimidated political opponents, usurped properties and became rich while taking advantage of public posts”.
