Minister Reka's statement on compromise with Serbia sparks sharp reaction from PDK

“instead of the one being spoken of, or qualified to give territory to Serbia, I have another offer. We can give the Transit Corridor to Serbia for access to the Adriatic Sea through Kosovo, via the Kosovo Highway, in Durres. And I think it's a fair compromise for Serbia”, Reka said in an interview in RTK.

This statement by the Minister of the Vetevendosje Movement has prompted the harsh response of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, which has considered this idea to be too disturbing and dangerous, but also anti-national.

“As a compromise on the final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, Vetevendosje Minister has proposed that Serbia open the corridor for access to the Adriatic Sea. This idea of Vetevendosje's minister is the rehabilitation of all Serbian historic efforts, since Nachertanje, Balkan wars, Nikola Passic's projects, Jovan Cvijqi, and Ivo Andric, to undo not only Kosovo but also the Albanian state. Serbian idealologist Cvijiq, wanting to reason on the annexation of northern Albania and on the Adriatic Sea, had described this step as economic interest and anti-ethnographic imperative”, the PDK's reaction said.

The PDK, too, has confirmed that what Serbian-magnical idealists could not do, which was centuries-old Serbian attempts to get out in the Adriatic Sea, is trying to achieve Vetevendosje.

This proposal is anti-national. Dangerous in content for the Albanian nation, denying the state of Kosovo and promoting the realisation of Serbian historic aspirations for the creation of Greater Serbia, with access to the Adriatic Sea”.

The PDK, in its statement, has warned that it will not allow any ideas that violate Kosovo's state and sovereignty, while calling on Prime Minister Kurti to urgently react to the immediate dismissal of Minister Blerim Reka and distance himself from such an anti-national stance.
