Starting SEECP in Bosnia, here's what Pacolli says after Thaci refused to participate

Pacolli has written on Facebook that only hours before the start of the meeting at the ministerial level and the Summit of the Co-operation Process in Southeast Europe (SEECP) and after having seized all possibilities related to our state's participation in this regional political peak event, the steadfast stand of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo is that, under existing conditions, Kosovo has been unable to represent Sam.

The way the Kosovo state delegation is supposed to be treated is unacceptable. Moreover, it also overshadows the newly concluded Poznan Summit under the Berlin Process, statements and joint pledges we have made there, but also the sincere and constructive commitments that Kosovo as a state makes within regional initiatives and organisations. Unfortunately, our will has been misunderstood by the current leader of Bosnia and Herzegovina's leadership, while our citizens are assured that we do not compromise with our achievements as a state and with the Euro-Atlantic perspective.

As always, we will continue to make our contribution to the development of the region, which is especially witnessed this year when we are leading three very important regional initiatives (The Fund of the Western Balkans) WBF, Regional Office for Youth Co-operation RYCO, and Regional Initiative for Migration, asylum and refugees MARRI). We will do the same after the end of the SEECP summit in Sarajevo, when we will also take the lead with this initiative. While we know that the SEECP has been created with the goal of strengthening good neighbourly relations in the region and the full integration of Southeast Europe into Euro-Atlantic structures, this behaviour towards Kosovo as the next chairman does not honor Bosnia and Herzegovina.
