We can also say that we have said it (actually, we have written it) that Prime Minister Albin Kurti is either a fool, or he works in someone else's interest, except not his country.

But we are only humble journalists and we are not in the habit of giving credit to ourselves.

Anyone who knows Kurt swears that he is no fool.

Therefore, in order to correctly interpret his behavior, which, as the KFOR mission commander stated, "risked triggering the start of a new war in the Balkans", only the second hypothesis remains: who would the Prime Minister of Pristina work for then? ?

Like many of his European colleagues overwhelmed by sovereign populism, the person in question answers that he works for his people and that he intends to preserve the consensus that brought him into government.

And, despite the serious accusations and threats that Kurti has received in the last few hours from representatives of major Western powers as well as from the most authoritative media, it seems that the people, or a good part of them, are with the leader. He is even labeled as a heroic patriot.

But it is not said that the people rationally know their own interests...

As Washington's Escobar delegate for the Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, explained well, if Kurti continues to bite the hand that offers him bread, he risks losing large Western funds and also the prospect of joining NATO and the EU.

Visa liberalization may also be reviewed. Not to mention the possibility of Kosovo joining international organizations and being recognized by other countries.

This, in addition to the fact that Kosovo risks becoming the first problem for the stability of the Balkans by removing the primacy of destabilizers from the hated Serbs.

Would these results be desirable for Kosovar citizens?

Therefore, it is evident that Kurti does not work in the interest of his country and people.

In these hours, disturbing rumors are circulating between Belgrade and Pristina, as well as in international diplomatic circles, according to which the Kosovar prime minister is connected to pro-Russian circles of the Serbian apparatus.

Environments that extremist nationalists use to incite tension with Kosovo and attempt to destabilize the region.

This would explain the continued attitude as an obstacle to the agreement with Belgrade and also the already open distancing of the Government of Pristina from pro-Atlantic and pro-European loyalty.

If that were the case, Kurti would be playing a very dangerous game, both for himself and for his country.

The American and European friends, to whom the Kosovars owe their independence, have been trying to explain this for a long time, but now they give the impression that they have lost their patience and do not want to give Pristina's tribune any more time.

A very complex game, also because the pro-Russian component of Belgrade does not seem to include the majority of the Serbian elite, which on the contrary would be in favor of the European perspective.

Thus, Kurti would place himself in the middle of the internal conflict between the two components of the Serbian government.

But these are just rumours, which can only originate from the hostility of some circles towards the Kosovar Prime Minister.

However, if Escobar says that the Russians benefit the most from this, then logic leads us to Albini's ties to Russia.

Of course, they have the merit of providing a rational explanation for behavior that does not seem rational at all.

There is another possibility in the meantime.

That it is simply a dramatic comedy, in which the protagonist wants to show the audience that if he ever signs the agreement with Vučić, he will do so only because he is forced by Western forces.

It remains to be seen: the curtain is about to close.

Meanwhile, Turkish soldiers are returning to the historical Kosovar plain.

For the Serbs, who are still celebrating the historic defeat of Fushë Kosova against the Sultanate, this is not a good thing.

Imagine further for Kosovo, when the heavy historical moment with the return of peacekeepers protecting Serbs and their families as in 2004-2005, comes to life two decades later.
