Prime Minister Edi Rama reacted after the call of the EU, which asked Kosovo to announce new elections in the four municipalities of the north, which are inhabited by a majority of Serbs.

Rama emphasized that this call could not be clearer than that.

“The EU could not be clearer than that! Continuing this absurd so called plan by deploying police to protect empty buildings that elected officials cannot enter, and in turn deploying army troops to sing at another country’s border could not be more self-inflicted and less European”, said Rama.

“I very much hope that our brotherly Kosovo and friendly Serbia will resolve this conflict before the EU implements strong measures against them. They must act quickly and understand that fulfilling the EU’s requirements means returning to themselves as responsible European states”, said Rama.

Earlier, the high representative of the EU, Josep Borrell, requested that there be new local elections in the 4 municipalities of the north of Kosovo, as well as engagement in the dialogue facilitated by the EU.
