U dokumentu koji potpisuje ambasador SAD u Prištini Filip Kosnet, predočen je niz problema koji je doveo do toga da se tamošnja ambasada nalazi u teškoj situaciji i pred tačkom pucanja, objavio je „Politiko“.
Novinarka Nahal Tusi objavila je na svom nalogu na Tviteru detalje depeše u sklopu koje se nalaze i virus korona i nedostatak vakcina, ali i infrastruktura, zagađen vazduh, agresivni psi lutalice, prekovremeni rad...
Sve to dovodi, piše u depeši, i do loših međuljudskih odnosa među zaposlenima u ambasadi.
1/In yesterday’s @POLITICO Nightly newsletter, I snuck in a tiny blurb about how I’d obtained a Feb. 15 cable from the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo that described the pandemic-related frustrations of U.S. diplomats there. In this thread, I’m going to share more details from the cable.

U dokumentu piše i da postoji percepcija da su lideri Stejt departmenta dali prednost vakcinaciji osoblju u Vašingtonu.
"To je teško prihvatiti", piše američki ambasador.
3/Pristina even has “ubiquitous packs of stray dogs” that can be “aggressive when hunting for food.” the cable notes. For these and other reasons, embassy staffers have been largely stuck indoors amid the Covid-19 crisis.

Upitan za komentar u vezi sa celom pričom, portparol Stejt departmenta je za jednu kablovsku televiziju izrazio saosećanje, ali takođe rekao da je odeljenje usmerilo skoro 80 odsto zaliha vakcina na mesta na terenu koristeći model distribucije prema kome planeri saobraćaja organizuju rute kao niz krakova, koji povezuju udaljene tačke sa centralnim čvorištem.
5/“Working longer hours (it’s 5 hours after COB as I write this because I’m still working), anxiety attacks, chest pains, loss of sleep. Something has to give.” The cable adds that “interpersonal conflicts within the embassy are more frequent.”

Takođe, on je dodao da kada je reč o vakcinama, namerava je da ih ponude za 100 odsto osoblja odeljenja, onoliko brzo koliko to dozvoljava isporuka vakcina.
7/“Kosovo behaves like a country free from COVID-19 … But Kosovo is a country ravaged by the pandemic … In the U.S., if you don’t wear a mask in public you might end up in a viral video; in Kosovo you’re more likely to trend on social media because you’re wearing a mask.”

Novinarka navodi i da treba napomenuti da je "Vašington post" nedavno objavio priču koja je pokazala kako je zabrinutosti američkih diplomata zbog distribucije vakcina prilično raširena.
9/“Repeatedly raising expectations, then dashing hopes with regards to vaccine distribution has taken a hard toll on our community’s outlook for the future. Many survey respondents now doubt Post will ever get the vaccine, while others suggest indifference by the Department.”

11/The spokesperson added: “When it comes to vaccines, we intend to offer them to 100 percent of department personnel as quickly as vaccine supply permits.”
