Vetëvendosje seeks to reclaim power from Kosovo's international sponsors.
Post-war political elites in Kosovo established a cozy and subservient relationship with the U.S. Embassy in Prishtina.
Vetëvendosje has long had a relationship with the U.S. Embassy that was neither cozy nor subservient.
Vetëvendosje came to power in spite of being disliked by the U.S. State Department, not by cozying up to them.
