Kurti rejected two governments' collection, Rama now warns Serbia's trade-off of relations

After punishing Albin Kurti last week by canceling the joint meeting with the Kosovo government envisioned to be held in Gjakova, Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama today has warned “migration of relations with Serbia if the hostage-takers in northern Kosovo are not released. If Serbia does not release [...]
The more these three men are kept in Serbia that even if they have crossed the border line they have committed no crime, the less likely our bilateral relations will not take much further. This will be the week of the return of the ice between us if they don't release”, Rama stressed in a Twitter response.
But Rama has not even eased his stances towards Albin Kurti, though they have been interpreted as a <x0-feckered” attack on Kosovo's prime minister. Rama stresses that with Kurti's stance, Kosovo is, according to him, risking losing its north. Albanian Prime Minister adds that Kosovo's north could be passed under KFOR control if de-passes do not occur.
“I fear so much that the more Albin insists on his fight against the Allies, the more situations he can migrate, by returning KFOR in charge of work! And then farewell for how long even formal state control over the entire territory and enjoy a Republic of KFOR in northern Kosovo! Albin, get out of the shell of self-awareness and don't lose the north by looking everywhere at enemies and traitors! Time is now and it's flying”, he added.
As for the attitudes he has taken towards Kurti Rama, he says they are at the same frequency as the positions the United States of America and the European Union have held, which have persistently urged Prime Minister Kurti to take immediate steps to decompress the situation.
Last week Rama proposed a close meeting with Kurti, in the presence and respect ministers of foreign affairs and defence, while warning of the danger of international sanctions on Kosovo. After the meeting was rejected by Kosovo Prime Minister Rama decided to cancel the meeting with the claim that “in the terms of hour-long engagement of Kosovo's relations with the entire Euro-Atlantic community cannot be held in the projected” format.
Kosovo's prime minister, underlining that the annulment has occurred by his counterpart, said such a decision is unreasonable. Kurti said that meetings of the two governments cannot be replaced with meetings of prime ministers.
This meeting was prepared months ago and with Prime Minister Rama we are in contact and we often meet, but the meetings of the two governments are something else, cannot replace government meetings with prime ministers' meetings because we should sign 13 agreements. We have 13 agreed agreements waiting in the drawer and I consider their not signing today to be wrong and every day they are not signed and applied is bad for our citizens. That doesn't mean anything about attitude, behavior between Kosovo and Albania, we are two states but we are of the same nation and we have to work as hard as possible, and the two governments' meeting for my obedience was unreasonable that it wasn't held today”, Kurti said.
