Former Albanian Foreign Minister: There may be exchange of territories if there is understanding

The taking of municipalities really seems positive, but we are not naive to admit that in exchange for what we're doing”, Agim Nesto says.

As opposed to former Foreign Minister Arjan Starova, the ideal considers recognition of Kosovo by Serbia as it is.

The ideal option would be for Serbia to recognise Kosovo as it is”, he says.

Thaci's thesis should not be tried according to Starova. The turbulent time with unpredictable security situations in the world requires that this issue be resolved permanently.

If this consensus envisions changes of borders or exchange of territories or the exchange of populations for me does not matter. Close a chapter and open a new chapter of relations not only between Serbs and Albanians, but in the Balkans”, Starova adds.

But thanks to the strong insistence of the US and EU, Kosovo has been sanctioned in the Constitution as an independent multiethnic state.

Any negotiations will be below the negotiated point in 99 and the rights The Hague International Court granted affect the core of the creation of the Republic of Kosovo”, says Agim Nesto.

Opening the door for renegotiation of other schemes provokes new ethnic conflicts so this is a matter of great non-sighing.

“Such a decision exceeds the protagonisms of smaller Balkan leaders and demand the guarantee of major world powers”, Agim Nesto adds.

“If international actors come into play referring to the principle that Kosovo is the unique case then prevents this process from being a chain process for the Balkans or beyond, and that guarantee is provided by other major actors, the major powers”, Arjan Starova adds.

But on the other hand, a local agreement with President Thaci's proposed thesis may simply be the card Russia is waiting to have in hand.
