Rama: I explained to Albin the work of Minisengen, but he's pretending he doesn't understand

Albania's prime minister, Edi Rama, has defended the joint initiative with Zoran Zaev and Aleskandar Vuciq for the creation of a Balkan Minisengen.

He has also counted the concessions and unfulfilled promises to Kosovo politicians, claiming they are making foreign policy with Albania, for internal policy interests in Kosovo, the Klan Kosova broadcasts.

Rama found he had argued in detail to Albin Kurti such an idea, and said he has the potential to understand, but added that” is pretending they don't understand”.

However, he stresses that if he chooses to act as if he does not understand, then it is the matter of Albin Kurti, but he cautioned that this is not the proper approach.

They know exactly what this is about. They know very well, I've reasoned with Albin, and I've long explained why -- the importance of this process, and if he doesn't understand it, I'd be very surprised, because it's smart enough, if he makes that whether he understands or doesn't understand it is his choice, but it looks like foreign policy with Albania for domestic politics. I don't think this is the best. However, we will have time to discuss and deepen discussions”, Edi Rama said.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has also provided details about the meeting, scheduled to be held on December 21st in Durres, where he has said he will invite VV leader Albin Kurtin, if he is in office.

” He will be invited, if he is sworn in and will be in charge, of course. We have been to Durres before, and we have been together with the prime minister of Kosovo and Serbia, and I don't remember that time Serbia has recognised Kosovo and suddenly withdrew recognition and now Kosovo will leave the table. Kosovo fought to sit at the table. Leaving the table, maybe there are reasons I don't know, but I'm willing to listen, if they're convincing, I'm very ok to agree. But it seems foreign policy with Albania, for internal affairs in Kosovo”, has added Rama further.

Albania's Government chief has also spoken of Albin Kurti's statement of the opening of borders between Albania and Kosovo, saying that this cannot be done without Serbia's reconciliation and questions the logic of the idea and the compatibility of the international community.

If Albin Kurti wants open borders, then you have to reconcile with all states. How do you get off Albin Kurti? - if Serbia is not part of this process, or will it start war? And who? The US, the EU or Cuba will give consent to removing the border without agreement with everyone else. That'd be crazy”

Edi Rama was barely held back in his criticism even of former Prime Minister Isa Mustafa and Ramush Haradinaj, saying they have neglected the Kosovo-Albania customs union agreement, also ordering Albin Kurti to open the files of agreements reached to see where it is, Kosovo broadcasts.

” All the points we have in this initiative are points that should have been done with Kosovo, in addition to the free movement that is now possible. Why don't you just open the papers, Albini? Let it begin by the customs union Albania approved, and at the last moment, the Kosovo side said no, in the government of Isa Mustafa. Haradinaj came here to do this first, and then he said, "Here's the thing, we'll do it later. Facts are necessary when you become prime minister”, Rama adds.

In response to what he would have to consult with Kosovo before Serbia, Edi Rama is of the opinion that this is a double standard and he has not mentioned and mentioned so far.

I wasn't asked to set the fee, nor did I tell you why you asked me, but I strongly supported it, but I supported it as a move that should produce political results, and not as an economic fee. I've said it's brutal access to all those who see the economic fee. When it came to that the tariff was turned into a tool of domestic politics, it sent Kosovo up to disregard by strategic partners, and when it was not used as a mechanism when the moment came, to lift visas. Normally, this turned to a rope at the feet of Kosovo”, has added Albania's prime minister, Edi Rama, among other things.

Besides Rama has said that only the free movement of people, which he says has fought a great war to convince Vuciq, has been added to the initiative for the mini-sensing, while he says other things Kosovo prime ministers have agreed on in the past five years.

He was persistent in his position that if they come with proper reasoning he will remain the Schengen agreement.

Kosovo has been present at the table in five years. The prime ministers and the president of Kosovo have agreed with everything we want to implement, concrete, not ourselves, but our people. I believe that if there is room for counseling here, you consult, he takes over or decides not to come, not the one who's going. If at any given moment someone says it won't go, and if the reasons are convincing, ” becomes common”, if not, then the one who says”, she stays with no, the one who says yes, goes on with yes at”, Rama has said, broadcasts Kosovo.
