Kurt after the crash with Brnabych: I told her Kosovo is independent

He declared that there has been controversy with the Serbian prime minister on the issue of recognition on the very matter.

“did not want to accept that Kosovo is an independent and sovereign state. I stressed that Serbia would have to secede by distance from the Milosevic regime and its legacy. The recognition of Kosovo's independence is also valid for Serbia itself, which thus holds itself hostage. Kosovo has declared independence from Serbia for 13 years, it is time for Serbia to declare independence from Kosovo”, Kurti said.

He reiterated once again the need for recognition of Kosovo's independence on the part of Serbia, in the conditions when the two states participate in the initiative.

All these initiatives are stalled because recognition is lacking from Serbia. This would create the situation in which, not only Kosovo and Serbia, but all countries could move more towards the EU. At the end of this decade we will have to be ready for EU integration”, Kurti said.

I confirmed that while the 6 BP states are Europe, then the EU is not yet Europe, because it is not complete. Kosovo has an even more difficult position, because we do not yet have visa liberalisation, even though the people of Kosovo are the most pro-European state in Europe”, he added.

Kosovo's prime minister said the initiative as the summit for the Western Balkans no longer has anything to do with the Regional Minisenen.

There is no more Minisen, there is a joint regional market, which will have the next meeting in the first half of July. That initiative is already an issue addressed by the Berlin process, by other name and other co-ordination”, Kurti said before reporters.
