Political expert Korab Blakaj has issued an open letter to the European Union, criticizing the bloc for what he perceives as the application of double standards concerning Kosovo. The central focus of his correspondence is the EU’s inconsistent application of principles related to the rule of law, the protection of strategic resources, the functioning of local institutions, and overall national sovereignty. In the letter, Blakaj asserts that while the EU frequently positions itself as a guarantor of robust democratic standards—including environmental protection, property rights, and adherence to the rule of law—these principles are not being applied uniformly in the context of Kosovo.
He contends that this disparity has created a “two-standard” approach. According to Blakaj, the EU appears to maintain one set of regulatory expectations for Kosovo’s established institutions, while simultaneously applying a different, seemingly lower standard to elements he characterizes as “criminal and terrorist structures supported by Belgrade.”
The expert’s critique suggests that this differential treatment undermines the EU’s stated commitment to democratic governance and stability in the region. By drawing this distinction, Blakaj challenges the EU’s narrative of consistent adherence to international norms, arguing that the framework of support offered to Kosovo is fundamentally uneven.
The document serves as a formal diplomatic challenge, demanding greater consistency in the EU’s policy enforcement across all sectors affecting the country.
