The future MP of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Avdullah Hoti, has raised concerns over what he calls a stagnation in strategic relations between Kosovo and the United States, contrasting this situation with Serbia’s progress.
In a post on the social network Facebook, Hoti noted the ongoing suspension of the Kosovo-US strategic dialogue, despite, according to him, Kosovars being the most pro-American people in the region and beyond.

He added that on the other hand, Serbia is expected to start on Friday the first cycle of its strategic dialogue with Washington.
“The most pro-American people in the region and beyond, the people of Kosovo, has its strategic dialogue with the US blocked. At the same time, our northern neighbor is opening this Friday the first chapter of this dialogue,” Hoti said.
The former minister also criticized Kosovo’s refusal to join the regional gas network, an initiative aimed at distributing American gas and reducing the Balkans’ dependence on Russian energy sources.
In his assessment, while Kosovo has turned its back on this initiative, Serbia has already signed major energy contracts, including the purchase of American liquefied natural gas.
The LDK MP warned that the perpetuation of this stance risks isolating Kosovo economically and politically, losing valuable opportunities to strengthen the strategic alliance with the US and to ensure energy independence.
