Analyst Edvin Kulluri estimates that both in Albania and in Kosovo, a dangerous political climate is being created, which he describes as the threshold of the irresponsibility of the political elites.
In an interview for the show “3D” with Alban Dudushin, Kulluri said that the situation on both sides of the border reflects a crisis of democracy, despite the fact that the institutions continue to function.
“In the entire Albanian space, both in Albania and in Kosovo, we are on the threshold of the irresponsibility of the elites, because we have people on the streets from both sides of the border. There is no institutional collapse, but there is a crisis of democracy for concrete reasons.”
Commenting on the debate on the Special Court, Kulluri called it hypocrisy that political forces demand changes after they have approved its establishment.
“For me, the issue of the punishment of the leaders of the KLA is a big hypocrisy in the society and politics of Kosovo. They voted for it themselves and now they want to change the law. Albin Kurti was the one who said not to vote. It is like our work with SPAK, who voted for it themselves and now they say to dissolve it. This is nonsense.”
According to the analyst, the costs of these political clashes are paid by the citizens, who are often used for political interests.
“Those who suffer this are the citizens, who are manipulated for the interests of politicians.”
Kulluri emphasized that the process of the Special Court is not only related to the internal politics of Kosovo, but also to the engagement of international factors for the investigation of claims related to the war period.
“There was an international will to investigate these accusations and try them. You cannot hold Albin Kurti accountable for this.”
He added that any attempt to change the legal framework of the Special Court would create new institutional and constitutional complications.
“If the law is changed, then the question arises whether the Constitution should also be changed. So, the situation becomes even more complicated.”
