Haradinaj confirms participation in Sofia Summit

This summit, aimed at injecting new energy into EU-Western Balkans relations, has awakened some states' harsh response to Kosovo's presence there. Although not yet officially, it has been reported that in Sofia, state chief Hashim Thaci will go, but this has not been confirmed.

The agenda published by the EU is not measured whether the Western Balkans will be represented at the level of prime ministers or presidents.

In Serbia today about this topic, Serbian government chief Anna Brnabic has spoken, who has said Kosovo will not be represented as a state, but has not indicated whether she or Serbia's president will go to the Bulgarian capital.

Whatever is in the Government of Kosovo, it has suggested that Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj will go there.

This was confirmed by officials from his cabinet for Gazette Express. But, for Kosovo's participation, some EU countries are making noise that have not recognised independence. Especially Spain.

Under the chairmanship of Mariano Rajoy, this state says it will not participate in any European summit or any other summit where Kosovo is present with any sign of its citizenship and is represented as entity to itself.

Meanwhile, besides Spain, Romania and Cyprus are now close to making the final decision not to participate in general discussion at the meetings.

These three members of the European Union, which do not recognise Kosovo as a state, do not want to be at the same table with Pristina representatives, nor show up together in a photograph.

According to reports, Spain, Romania and Cyprus can use Plan B so that their officials are only at a work dinner scheduled for the day before the summit, while the next day they are represented by several other members
