The recent attack on Kosovo’s vital infrastructure in the north, which has been described as a “Putin-style” assault, marks a dangerous escalation in Serbia’s ongoing hostility toward Kosovo. According to Meliza Haradinaj, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, this attack is a precursor to Serbia’s renewed aggression against Kosovo, especially during a time of political transition in the United States.
Haradinaj expressed her concerns over the timing of the attack, highlighting that it occurred amid the power-transition period in the United States. This could have significant implications for the international response to the rising tensions in the Balkans.
In her statement, Haradinaj also praised the swift and united reaction from Western embassies, emphasizing that their clear and coordinated response was crucial in denouncing the attack. The attack on Kosovo’s infrastructure, particularly in the north, is seen as a calculated move by Serbia to undermine the sovereignty and stability of Kosovo.
This attack follows a pattern of increasing provocations by Serbia against Kosovo, which has faced repeated destabilizing actions in recent years. Haradinaj’s comments reflect growing concerns over Serbia’s ongoing belligerence and the need for a stronger, more united response from international partners to protect Kosovo’s security and sovereignty.
The ex-minister’s call for continued vigilance and solidarity from Western allies is timely, as Kosovo faces mounting threats from Serbian elements, particularly those backed by Belgrade. The international community’s role in standing firm against these provocations remains more crucial than ever.
