Kosovo has withdrawn its application for Interpol membership as it waits for its new government to be formed. Outgoing PM Ramush Haradinaj has sent a letter to the international law enforcement organization’s General Assembly meeting, which opened Tuesday in Santiago, Chile, AP reported. | |
The letter requests that the application be postponed until next year, Haradinaj’s press office said. | |
Kosovo’s application to join Interpol was refused last year, when, in a vote by the existing members, it failed to get the required two-thirds approval. Kosovo’s government then imposed a 100 percent tariff on Serbia's imports. | |
Serbia does not recognize the 2008 declaration of independence of what it considers to be its breakaway province. The tariff is among the issues that have stalled EU-facilitated talks between them. |
