Rama from Sarajevo: It is not secret that we protect Kosovo's interests

“It is not a secret that the Republic of Albania protects the interests of Albanians in Kosovo and other countries, and we are very interested that the Berlin Process agreements, primarily the agreement on free movement with ID cards for the Albanian citizens of the Republic of Kosovo, because it is meaningless that we have problems of this nature and that descend to the citizens' level, while the policy should serve all citizens apart from”, Rama said.

He said he has come to Sarajevo to brief the chairman of the Council of Ministers for the Berlin Process in Tirana in October of this year.

I hope that Bosnia and Herzegovina will sign such an agreement under Serbia's model. In October in Tirana we must maintain a common position on all issues that concern us and raise issues that concern us all together”, Rama said.

Albania's prime minister, during his tour of the capitals of Western Balkan countries, has previously visited Skopje and Pristina, while after Sarajevo he will go to Podgorica and Belgrade.

Rama's Balkan tour aims to brief countries in the region of preparations Albania is making to host the Berlin Process Summit.
