The Middle East Monitor reported that the administration in northern and northeastern Syria plans to open offices in other European countries, including France, Germany, Sweden, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands, after it opened its office in Geneva on Monday this week.

The magazine, however, considers the main factor in establishing the representative offices of the administration in European countries to be the Syrian Kurdish forces known as the People's Defense Units (YPG) for fighting ISIS in Syria for years.

The magazine considers the United States, Germany, France and Sweden as the main sponsors of the Syrian Kurdish forces because these countries have always sent delegations to the Kurdish controlled areas of Syria or delegations from the administration have traveled to these countries. The self-ruling administration also has a representative office in Washington.

Middle East Monitor points to obstacles that could erode the administration's credibility, including a recent EU Council report on the Syrian Kurdish forces' links to far-left European groups.

Middle East Monitor also cited Turkey's efforts to identify Syrian Kurdish forces as a branch of the PKK, which is considered a "terrorist" organization by European countries and the United States, as an obstacle for the administration to win recognition in Europe.
