Kosovo suspends activities of Qatar Charity Foundation

DUBAI: Authorities in Kosovo have suspended the activities of the Qatar Charity Foundation in a move that serves as a new proof of Doha’s use of the “charity” front to cover its illegal activities and its financing of terrorism.

The Kosovo NGO Department has taken the decision to suspend the activities of the Organization, as the alleged activities of the foundation are in conflict with the security interests of the Republic of Kosovo, according to the French site Salut.

Qatar claims its charity is committed to the laws of the countries it operates in, especially poor or armed conflicts, but has long used such institutions to launder money and finance terrorism.
