In today’s weekly column, Halil Matoshi, writes that since history is considered as a life teacher, the historical analogy of Hashim Thaci, who Matoshi refers to by his initials HTH, with former dictators is becoming increasingly fuller as the more he stays in power, the more he becomes arrogant and unpredictable and “even a threat for the country’s stability”.

“PDK as a conglomerate with a bunch of quasi-patriotic and quasi-religious organisations became a winner of 8 June elections. But being that HTH deceived everyone, friends and foes, locals and internationals, he is unable to find a partner to build the Government because, simply said, everyone is afraid of him and everyone is avoiding his embrace”, writes Matoshi.

If the outgoing prime minister doesn’t wish for above analogies being made in reference to him, he should reflect, suggests Matoshi. Instead of giving way to the forming of new democratic institutions, he is becoming increasingly dangerous for the stability of Kosovo because he is afraid. “Fear from a future without power and fame, fear from the Special Court, fear that he will have to be held accountable before a court for bad governance and capture of the country”, adds Matoshi. It is therefore the fear that is making Thaci violent in statements and unscrupulous in the fight to keep power or influence.

What will happen on the day the new Assembly of Kosovo will be constituted depends on what the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) meant when it said that they will not allow anyone to step on institutions they build with blood. “Stalinists don’t want to be replaced – they usually fall”, concludes Matoshi.
