Political analyst Dorajet Imeri has reacted to statements made by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić regarding the visit of Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti to Paris, describing them as unfounded propaganda aimed at manipulation.
According to Imeri, Vučić is attempting to construct a new narrative by creating the impression that every move by Kosovo occurs with his knowledge. He argues that this is part of a propaganda strategy intended to generate insecurity among Kosovo’s citizens and institutions.
He further emphasizes that such statements are designed to portray Serbia in a more favorable position, while, in reality, the situation reflects the opposite.
Imeri assesses that Kosovo’s advancement on the international stage represents increased security and prosperity not only for the country but also for the wider region. He adds that this progress aligns with democratic and Western values.
According to him, Serbian propaganda fundamentally carries an anti-Western and anti-democratic approach, while Vučić’s rhetoric is often linked to internal developments in Serbia, including electoral periods.
In his remarks, Imeri also criticized Vučić as a remnant of the era of Slobodan Milošević, accusing him of continuing a familiar role as a propagandist. He argued that Vučić is attempting to shape perceptions regarding Kurti’s visit to Paris by suggesting that Kosovo’s actions are somehow under his awareness.
Imeri described this as a clear propaganda tactic aimed at fostering uncertainty in Kosovo while simultaneously presenting Serbia as being in an advantageous position. In contrast, he stated that Kosovo’s growing international standing signals greater stability and prosperity for both the country and the region, reinforcing democratic and Western-oriented values.
He concluded that Vučić’s continued reliance on propaganda reflects a decline in Serbia’s real influence in Kosovo. According to Imeri, such rhetoric often intensifies during periods of domestic political difficulty in Serbia, including upcoming local elections, where nationalist narratives are used to maintain political power.
