We lack a plan and [Kosovo Prime Minister, Albin] Kurti\u2019s readiness for agreement with the allies. At this stage, Kosovo is left with the consequences that may come from the EU and the US. It is difficult for us to accept such a situation. It is an unprecedented situation for us. I hope that Kurti reflects on it, and I urge him to reflect, and I also urge [Kosovo President, Vjosa] Osmani to be more vocal in this critical situation in Kosovo,\u201d Abdixhiku told the media after meeting with the international envoys.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_54813\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54813\" style=\"width: 728px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54813 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lumir-abdixhiku.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lumir-abdixhiku.jpg 728w, https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lumir-abdixhiku-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lumir-abdixhiku-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lumir-abdixhiku-696x520.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-54813\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo Lumir Abdixhiku speaking to media, June 6, 2023.
