Last night he was smiling, Kurt said in 2018: Serbia owes us, once to pay then do dialogue

As a opposition, Kurti had criticised past governments' past benefits for Serbia's meetings and leaders.

In a 2018 speech in the Kosovo Assembly, Kurti said:

We as the Kosovo Assembly should formulate the requirements for Serbia and formally send them to Serbia. You owe us these things and then we do this” dialogue.

“does not make dialogue without formulating the requirements for Serbia. She owes us. Debt should be asked for, and this should be done by the Kosovo Parliament and the Government of Kosovo”, Kurti addressed MPs.

Kurti, now prime minister, said that at informal dinner with Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq in Berlin, there were no different items, alluding that Kosovo has been equal to Serbia.

At that dinner, we didn't have any different items, so it was the equality of the parties and we discussed the topics in light of the 13 May meeting, among the perpetrators”, it was expressed.

He was also asked if he feels that he has broken his former political principles.

So, no matter whether there's dinner or not, no matter what dinner I'm like, I feel the same way. With great responsibility for the task I carry but at the same time proudly for this responsibility entrusted to me”, the government's first said.

There have been numerous reactions in Pristina, where the government chief remembered past statements.
