Serbia: Erdogan broke with Kosovo, Albania, now with us

Recep Tayip Erdogan's Turkey was counting on Albanians, Kosovo and Albania, but on the recent visit of Turkish President to Belgrade, it seems that this report has changed. Serbian Trade Minister Rasim Lajic says that.

Erdogan paid a visit to Serbia this week, where there were 180 businessmen, and many co-operation agreements were signed there, including in the economic field.

Minister Lajic in a conversation for Serbian media has spoken about these reports, and he says Turkey's relations with Kosovo and Albania are no longer as if a few years ago, the newspapermetatro.net conveyed.

Turkey's “relations with Kosovo and Albania are not what they were several years ago. This situation changed dramatically from coup attempt”, Lajic told Radio Vojvodina.

Ljajic said that Vucic in that case “did a big thing”, because “one of the first spoke publicly about the coup by giving support to Erdogan.

“On the other hand, in Albania and in Kosovo there is a structure of Fetulah Gylen (which Turkey accuses of organising the coup attempt), which are in important positions ... Some of the followers are in important positions in Kosovo and Albania. I don't know how accurate this is, I just broadcast what I hear, what Turks are broadcasting. And, even after many requests submitted to Tirana and Pristina for these Güney followers, nothing has been undertaken. There's a cold in these” relationships, Lajic said.
