In a statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry, the prime minister’s statement was described as ”completely unacceptable.” Albania, Edi Rama, on the unification of his country with the Kosovo.
«We view the statement by the Albanian prime minister, Eddie Rama The idea of uniting Albania and Kosovo is absolutely unacceptable. Promoting the implementation of the ‘Greater Albania’ plan is in complete contradiction with the provisions of UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and undermines stability in the Balkans, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson noted in a related statement, Maria Zakharova.
For Moscow, as he says, it is particularly strange that this position—which opposes a decision that is fundamental to resolving the conflict— «is being declared a key objective of the political career of the leader of a Balkan country,» added the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson. Such positions «are not consistent with the joint efforts of Belgrade and Tirana to create a single market,» she said.
«We are eager to hear an appropriate response from the Western sponsors of the ‘nation-state-building’ project in Kosovo to this blatant provocation. We are astonished that such subversive calls are being ignored while Belgrade is being criticized for its humanitarian initiatives for the ‘Serbian world,’ which are justified and consistent with international law,» Ms. Zakharova added.
