Kosovo lives his first crisis of growth politics. After autonomy troubled, marked by the resignation of President Fatmir Sejdiu and the breaking of the ruling coalition, are organized in early parliamentary elections for December 12. This period of "floating" in a country where the prerogatives of the state remain under international supervision, delayed the opening of a direct discussion with Serbia. But the budget that the American diplomacy is, twelve years after the war, it is still very positive, according to telegrams obtained by Wikileaks, which Le Monde has consulted.
On 17 February 2010 the Kosovo celebrated the second anniversary of its independence. On that day, the U.S. embassy in Priština returns the "length" at this state in the making. I remember tabulated often an exercise in complacency, as the Americans have supported the liberation of Kosovo from Serbia.
The independence of Kosovo is a success story, "sums up the embassy.
The reasons for this lack of happiness: new "legitimate institutions" have emerged as the Constitutional Court and the Security Force in Kosovo, have been placed "solid basis" for economic reform, although the fact that the government remains the "key driver" of the activity is "not a viable model ".
RESPONSIBILITIES 'THE EUROPEANS
Finally, great progress has been made about the integration of Serb communities in the south of the country. In the north, however, where 40,000 Serbs live around the city of Mitrovica, the situation is more alarming, by reason of criminal networks and the ambiguity of Belgrade. "The current situation is unsustainable and, worse, wrote on January 29 Ambassador Christopher Dell to the Secretary of State, Phil Gordon. The inability to act quickly will mean the loss of Kosovo the North and the reopening of Pandora's box of ethnic conflict that defined the '90s. "
Ambassador Dell uses sharp words: "For ten years, we have told the Kosovars trust us - let us handle the situation and we will protect you - and today the Government of Kosovo independence, we earnestly request the extent to which we will live up to that promise. " Americans emphasize the responsibility of the Europeans, who have taken the UN to run the business, through EULEX mission, hundreds of high magistrates, policemen and customs officers.
"Corruption can 'DELAY ITS DEVELOPMENT
Problem: The European Union is paralyzed by its divisions, not to mention the effects of economic crisis and the weariness of the people against the enlargement process. In addition, five Member States still do not recognize Kosovo. This is the dissatisfaction of the European law on corruption. EULEX should increase its activities and make any arrests, promised a long time, high-ranking corrupt officials, or we run the risk that our rule of law reforms to collapse, leaving the impression in public that the government is little more than a kleptocracy, "writes the ambassador. Since then, several major operations were conducted by EULEX.
Hashim Thaci, A "political actors Foxy"
However, critics are not open for the management of privatization against Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, a candidate to succeed himself. A month before the declaration of independence in 2008, the embassy wrote: "Although Thaci could be a partner sometimes unpredictable and unreliable, I have maintained strong relations with him and his staff. Thaci has promised to consult closely with the U.S. government and European Union representatives on all major policy fronts. "
Thaci may be a "cunning political actor, although he is often times stubborn and unwilling to advice when it perceives a threat to his political interests."
