Former president of Albania: Why is Serbia armed, not going to attack? Albania, Kosovo take care

“We, Albania and Kosovo, are really peaceful, but we have to think even worse. Armed Serbia, but why armed? The question is, will it attack? Did he have it in mind?”, Moisiu said in an interview for Kosova priss. “We must be careful and take measures, even Kosovo and Albania, should be more serious. Who knew Russia would attack Ukraine, no man. They're autocratic countries, and Serbia is an autism country, it's not in Russia's weight, but it's”.

Moisiu also said the European Union should not pet Serbia and force it to recognise Kosovo's independence. “E find this difficult -- not the reasons why -- they know better. But that's the maximum we're looking for, so we need to step by step. Europe has this job in its hands more than anyone to tighten Serbia and not caress you. After petting it so far, they considered it better to be behind Serbia than from Russia”, he says.

According to him, dialogue with Serbia must continue to achieve only a final epilogue, not to drag the process. “Even the Russians and Serbs have the same language, that's not fair and that worries us. We tell our neighbors, as we have lived together, we will continue to live, but as neighbors. I often use a word, a friend and a friend can be solved, but God gives your neighbor. The important thing is to find the way to deal with it and live in peace. Of course, this is not as simple as it is said, but it must be accomplished. After solving problems, there are two roads, or guns, or we talk. With weapons, war here is done, now it's time to sit at the table, but fairly, honestly to solve problems and not to prolong the time, here also Europe needs to be careful”, he adds.

However, he adds, Kosovo should join regional initiative “Open Balkans”. “America and the European Union have clearly said that this is not about political solutions, it is about solving economic problems. As political problems continue within the Berlin and the EU Process... The Open Balkans have an economic role, Kosovo must join, as Kosovo does trade with Serbia, regardless of what may have fallen, but continues. All problems must be solved, but the point is neither you nor we give up on Kosovo independence and mutual recognition. Since this cannot continue indefinitely in frozen conflict. Therefore, the German Chancellor also highlights the task strongly”, says Moses.
