We are entering a new phase where things will be said and done more bluntly and directly. Kosovo has no time to lose. First, let those who have lost the path that has been built and paved with blood, sweat and labor, for 20 years now, and where the torch is held together by the people of Kosovo and the USA, lose it.

Kurti was not received at the White House or the State Department during his visit to the US. Someone in the US, after thinking carefully and for a long time, took care to convey two messages to Kosovo with this (non-)reception. With the same care towards this visit, the US ensured that these two messages were not confused with each other, but were understood correctly and separately. How?
First. For now, we do not want the Prime Minister of Kosovo in the White House, because he is neither a normal nor loyal continuation of US policies in Kosovo, and he neither represents nor cooperates adequately with the Euro-Atlantic geopolitical mindset. This approach applies exclusively to the current Prime Minister Kurti.
Second. Contrary to the first, according to the US message, Kosovo will not in any way and under any circumstances or time be harmed, nor will it be overlooked by the US. This should apply to both the citizens of Kosovo and businesses, and to Kosovo's alignment as an undisputed ally of the US.
This ambiguous message from the US was not at all easy to reach a country like Kosovo, still with major problems of the most diverse kinds, especially those related to the statehood. But it has been achieved. The US damaged Kurti, but not Kosovo. It damaged Kurti to the extent that Kosovo was not damaged. The US supported Kosovo to the extent that Kurti was not favored in his visit. In this regard, Kosovo could also be damaged in the future if Kurti does not change. If the US did more than that towards Kurti, they would damage Kosovo. The US does not do this towards its small, but very loyal ally now. The US did not do this, even though it is aware that some in Kosovo will not understand the message towards Kurti correctly and will continue the policy as if nothing had happened and as if Kurti towards the US is like all the others before him.
Am I right to conclude that the US sent us a message that Kurti is not the right fit for US policies and Euro-Atlantic geopolitics in Kosovo and the region, despite the fact that his party won over 50% of the votes.
Yes, I have, without a doubt.
Knives on maps in the White House – The yellow and red House (for the White House) – I don't think Albanians love Americans but more... – The Washington Agreement is an opportunity for Serbia to return to Kosovo – The NATO agreement with the KSF (Thaci) not to go north without coordination (permission) was called a secret that harms Kosovo – The gas pipelines that were rejected, etc., etc. More than that, in short, every big, important and decisive thing that has been decided in the last decade for Kosovo and in Kosovo that has the consent, but also the seal of the USA, has been criticized as a mistake and failure by VV and Kurti. All these black words and myopic extremist policies, more similar to an anti-European Europe that is becoming increasingly dependent on Putin's gas, than to the Euro-Atlantic Europe that has consistently supported Kosovo, were converted into a 'political door' on the doors of the White House for Kurti. The Americans showed that they have good political memory and are punishing, but they also showed that they are very careful and do not want to harm Kosovo, which they want to be their strong ally. Kurti could learn the code of this lock to open the door if he wanted. In order to be received by Biden and others close to him tomorrow with the greatest respect, to finally conclude the state-building and accession process that has been stalled for some time, Kurti must change. If not, next time Kosovo will also be harmed by Kurti's quarrel. This must not be allowed. We are entering a new phase where things will be said and done more bluntly and directly. Kosovo has no time to lose. First, let those who have lost the path that has been built and paved with blood, sweat and labor, for 20 years now, and where the torch is held together by the people of Kosovo and the USA, will lose.
