Open Balkan, Tahiri: Issues are not economic, Belgrade is attempting hegemony, Tirana is helping

Even though leaders of participating countries in the Balkan, Albanian, Serbian and Northern Macedonia say the initiative is aimed at economic issues and the freedom of circulation in the region, former Kosovo deputy prime minister Edita Tahiri does not believe it, pointing fingers at Belgrade's ambitions to restore its hegemony to the region. Economic resolutions [...]

The surfaced economic resolutions are not direct from this initiative, are earlier regional initiatives, of course some things may have moved on paper. But practically, it is hard to think of an implementation of 4 freedoms' decisions, because the open topics in the Balkans are not closed. The talk about the open Balkans while Kosovo and Serbia have not reached mutual recognition. Albania can talk about borders, but it is not limited to Serbia, it is Kosovo that borders. The allegedly economic issues are deeply geopolitical”.

Tahire invited to “debat” on A2 CNN, further outlines this point.

Serbia has the largest market in the region, during the war it has not damaged itself, but other countries of the former Yugoslavia have an advantage in the economy because it is open to China and Russia, against Western partners, it is using every way to get up in economic hegemony, and from the moment it is delaying to be so, the Grand Serbia Charter is again trying to become a source of destasibility in the region”.

According to her, official Tirana is helping this plan.

“Rama is helping Belgrade to be a factor of stability, but this is actually burning the Balkans. All the most experienced analysts in the Balkans are saying, that the Balkans is close to new wars”, Tahiri adds concerned.

This is becoming possible, according to her, even for Moscow's geostrategic game.

Serbia aims to split Bosnia. She is not alone, the Russians are participating in Serbian exercises because Moscow is trying to increase its influence in the report with the US, while breaking relations with Naton”.
