German MP: Working with non-EU states to recognise Kosovo

He said the Berlin Process summit, held early in the week we are leaving behind, has been a festive meeting.

We have had a success after many years for a kind of common market in BP. From this summit to start a new start, and for us this is a huge success”.

Asked whether there is silence from Germany, from EC President Ursula von der Leyen and Hungary as chairman of the EU Council, on Prime Minister Albin Kurti's request at the Berlin Process Summit to remove the measures, and to be granted EU candidate country status.

Hacker said: Hungary's “prime minister has a personal opinion on all things that are happening and he has a personal agenda. He leads the EU, and to the end it will be. Albin Kurti knows very well what to look for and knows what the situation is like within the EU. We still have members who accept Kosovo as a separate state, and until we have this situation with some member states, we must have such silence. Germany, on the other hand, has in many cases supported Kosovo in the EC, in the EU, and we are working with other member states to recognise Kosovo to take further steps. The summit's success has been possible due to the fact that Kosovo in recent moments agreed that some measures will be released so that the summit will be successful”, Hacker said in an interview for “Info Magazine” in Klan Kosova.

The German MP was asked again on the “of Chancellor Scholz”, as he said: “Kancelar Scholz is not silent and should not be. But there are specific circumstances because he speaks of the EU, not an offer for Kosovo, not because of Germany, but because of other member states. When this government was appointed three years ago, we began to reinforce the Berlin Process, which for a long time has been as silent, with the appointment of an envoy for BP, my former colleague Manuel Sarrazuz. He has needed many conversations and beliefs with many people, because we think that BP is possible only if it exceeds the situations of the past. That if they get over what they are enemies at the moment, they have to accept each other, tolerate each other if they want to be part of the EU. This is what we seek from Chancellor Scholz and our other Bundestag colleagues, who often travel to the region”.
