Kadri Veseli: “Kosovo needs an army – we are worried about increasing Russian influence, the rise of extremism and Serbian provocations”

In an interview with EUROPP’s editors, Kadri Veseli, the Speaker of the Kosovo Parliament and Chairman of the country’s largest political party, PDK, states that the people of Kosovo are sick and tired of politicians, with global pop stars and sportswomen being better ambassadors for the country than most members of parliament. He reflects on the difficulties posed by a disadvantageous visa regime, reacts to Aleksandar Vucic’s election as President of Serbia, and outlines why he believes it is important to set up a Kosovo army.
