Thaci tells what he talked to Putin behind the cameras

In an interview for Report Tv, Thaci said the head of the Kremlin has promised to approve any agreement Pristina and Belgrade will reach.

“I am not enthusiastic about whether to keep my word or not, even a statement, at least verbal, but also from the meeting that I have had with Russia's President Putin, for the first time in Paris, they declare they are willing to recognise an agreement, to understand an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia. That means the departure of the Russian veto to the Security Council”, said Thaci, who has later indicated that the meeting had no mediator, but happened there.

This meeting is not mediated by anyone, it happened there, in a conversation of my advisers with those of President Putin. In the room where this 5-7-minute brief meeting was held, both President Trump and President Makron, and Chancellor Merkel”, Thaci has said.

“has been a joint will of mine as the president of the state of Kosovo to discuss very openly with Russia's president. I think that the meeting that has taken place is good for Kosovo because for the first time, a president of Russia has agreed to discuss openly, transparently and publicly familiar with the president of a state that they still do not know and that they are our main blockade of the Security Council and for global recognition of Kosovo”, the Kosovo president has added.

I'm not excited, but the conversation was correct. The questions I posed to President Putin were very clear, but the answers were clear. I have asked him very openly that if Kosovo and Serbia reach a final agreement between them with mutual recognition, how Russia will act and he said we will accept it. Then I asked him, "In the case of the Security Council, how will Russia act? We can't solve it even though it's not Serbia, he replied. I think it's things that we've missed before to hear from official Russia. Whether they will keep their word or not, it's a whole different matter”, Thaci showed, follows Express.
