Tensions in northern Kosova were another issue that received the attention of the Globsec 2023 summit being held in Bratislava.

Prime Minister Edi Rama considered the situation in the north as an incredible display of internal politics, as he pointed out “because the Serbian army on the borders of Kosova has a power equal to zero”.

The head of the government said that both Kosova and Serbia have an agreement that must be concluded, which is mutual recognition, and as he said, the hesitation of the parties has produced this conflict in the north.

“This conflict there, has a reason which, in my view, could have been completely avoided. It is not indicative of concrete problems. These mayors are elected by 1%, while 99% feel unrepresented. There is an agreement to be concluded, mutual recognition. And it is the reluctance to reach this agreement that produces these situations.

This is the most incredible display of internal politics because the Serbian army on the borders of Kosova has a power equal to zero. It is like the Mexican army appearing on the border with the USA. What can it do? Nothing! It has only to do with internal politics”, said Rama.

Kosova and Serbia, added the Prime Minister, are only one step away from concluding the historic Agreement, which he said, must be realized without fighting each other.

“Unfortunately, before summer comes we have a problem in the northern part of Kosova. I don’t know why it happens in the summer, maybe because Kosova and Serbia don’t have seas and heads get hot.

Things have not been better between Kosova and Serbia as they are only one step away from concluding a historic agreement.

Now both sides have a kind of hesitation because they see that this will be done and they won’t have to fight each other anymore and this probably goes against their inertia, the need to fight.This is the perspective”, said Rama.
