What wasn't said and not seen at the Rama- Kurti meeting

A few days after the “Open Balkan” summit, which this time was held in Serbia, the meeting between the Kosovo government and that of Albania was held in Pristina today. Prime Minister Albin Kurti has insisted on refusing to make the initiative of the Open “Balcan”, while Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has criticised that by this election, [...]
Prime Minister Albin Kurti has insisted on refusing to make the initiative to open “Balkan”, while Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has criticised that by this election, he is only losing.
But the criticisms made in distance were forgotten this Monday when the two prime ministers met in the Kosovar capital.
In a discussion with analysts Ilir Yzeziri and Milaim Zeka argued why three major issues for Kosovo, NATO membership, EU integration and Balkan Open were not part of talks between the two governments.
“Now Rama is charged with Kurti in Pristina and speaks as if it hadn't happened and suddenly”, says Yzyri at Top-channel.
While according to Zeka, it is better not to discuss these major Kosovo issues, as they would be misused by Serbia or Russia.
Some agreements signed today, such as crossing the border from Albanian and Kosovo citizens at weekends and on national holidays, without the need for registration at border police points or taking up Albanian citizenship for Kosovo citizens, analysts call them dangerous.
Albanian “have achieved many, for the first time their voice is being heard in the Balkans. This is certainly the Albanian century, but we must not forget international assistance. We can't pass passports now and melt the border, becoming charlatans.
Kosovo, however, has its own identity. We must fight for Kosovo as it is, to gain dignity as a normal state, as we are, and we”, Yzeri says.
According to him, it does not solve the problem of IDs.
Could be a solution there for now. So that tomorrow, when we're in the European Union and there's no other identity that can separate us, we can unite, not for the sake of the passport, but for the sake of being one nation and have unjustly separated us”.
The freedom of Kosovo citizens to now elect citizenship, journalist Zeka recognises as anti-Kosovo.
The “is anti-Kosovo because Russian Serb circles mean in the European Parliament and in Brussels, here is the final goal of the political leaders of Kosovo and Albania. That's why it's anticosovare, what the hell we need statements like this, because after all, when we're imprisoned for watching Albanian television, today you're on the Albanian coast for two hours. Never better.
It is an agreement to undo Kosovo, remove borders, and Kosovo no longer exists. You cannot remove an entire nation, make all Albanian citizens they are. Then what will Kosovo be called? The identities are temporary, what doesn't change is the core of that identity”.
Kosovo is using victimisation policy, and this is wrong, the journalist emphasises.
Kosovo would have wanted nationalist rhetoric and victim rhetoric to be used with restraint. Being a victim of day, victimizing, only makes the integration process worse. The problems Kosovo has with Serbia to resolve without feeling, without making daily politics and without victimising”.
