Kosovars feel their government has let them down after forming warm ties with Israel and recognising Jerusalem as its capital
diplomatic relations, and the Balkans Muslim-majority country, along with Serbia, will open an embassy in Jerusalem.
If it were to happen, Kosovo will be the first Muslim-majority country to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, although it is in a clear violation of international law.Speaking to TRT World, Kosovar politician Ertan Simitci said the move should be seen in the light of Kosovo's need to have the recognition of as many countries as possible since it is quite a young state established in 2008.
Simitci described the Kosovan government's decision to normalise its relations with Israel as “a sad and thought-provoking situation,” criticising the leaders in charge for being "unfair and immoral." “While the legitimacy of the current government is being discussed today, we can say that the decisions taken are worrying,” he said, adding that the country needs to go for an early parliamentary election to form a majority government.
Simitci said he's making efforts to unite Turkish-origin voters under a new political platform so that their aspirations and opinions are represented in the decision-making process. Since the US-brokered agreement was taken without parliamentary approval in Kosovo, the shopkeeper said he doesn't think it would have been accepted if the matter had gone through the parliament.
