Rama: Kosovo must take off measures, Serbia must be sanctioned for Banjska act

Albania's prime minister, Edi Rama, at his late news conference last year has been asked about reports Albania will have with Serbia during 2024. Edi Rama has said the position of the Albanian state has been very clear and there has been fluctuation, whether it has asked Serbia not to be sanctioned the cause of its attitude towards Russia, even when official Tirana has found that Serbia has committed a flagrant act against all European values and co-existence when it has declared days of mourning for Banjska criminals and for the act of attack itself.

Rama has said Albania has demanded that Serbia be sanctioned for the act of terror in Banjska and that Kosovo be removed from the measures, since Kosovo has made the step and that Kosovo remains the measures and that Serbia is not imposed on any austerity measures after the act in Banjska.

““As for relations with the president of Serbia, it is a relationship that has nothing but Albania and the region's interest. Of course it's a report that bothers me and us to call the white and black. Our attitude has been very clear and there has been no fluctuation. Whether it has been the chance to say out loud that Serbia should not be sanctioned as a result of Russia's failure to sanction, since this would bring dangerous consequences to the region, even when Serbia committed a flagrant act against all European values and co-existence with the proclamation of mourning for Banjska criminals as well as for the very act of terror in Banjska. So we've been very clear about that. We have openly demanded that Serbia should be sanctioned and Kosovo needs to remove austerity measures, because Kosovo has already made the step, which it should have done in time, but has. It makes sense that Kosovo will remain the measures and that Serbia will not be imposed any austerity measures after the act in Banjska”, Rama has said.
