The coming of power of Albin Kurti, in the so-called Kurti 2 administration, brought forth several challenges as well, such as dialogue with Serbia and getting the endorsement of the opposition in the process, something that was sought for by Kurti himself.

Journalists and experts on Kosovo’s political realm sharing the panel on Ilva Now, such as Enver Robelli, Jeta Xharra, or analyst Donika Emini, had a similar stance when it comes to Serbia’s recognition of Kosovo, as something “essential” and that it should be “clearly a part of the dialogue process”.

Political scientist Adri Nurellari, on the other hand, referred to Kurti’s approach to the dialogue as “an effort based on already exhausted ideas”, as well as “naïve”.

“The naïve idea to talk to local Serbs is an idea which indicates unawareness of the process and the entire situation in the country. The government of Kosovo has tried continuously to accommodate Serbs in order to show that Kosovo is a multiethnic country. This has been considered as treason by Kurti”, he said.

“The government of Kosovo cannot create old maneuvers to avoid dialogue with Serbia. Peace is to be made with Belgrade. A frozen conflict hampers Kosovo’s development”, added Nurellari.

International Relations expert Akri Çipa spoke about Kosovo’s initiative to sue Serbia for genocide. According to Çipa, this can be done through a third party, such as Albania, meanwhile, Prishtina pursues the dialogue process with Belgrade.

“The chances for it to come to life is wide-spanning debate, varying from a legal to a political perspective and how much space will Kurti have from international partners to pursue this initiative’, said Çipa. “If he decides to go forward with the lawsuit, I believe that there needs to be a significant endorsement from the US, mainly in supporting his way forward with the lawsuit and the dialogue”.
