Prime Minister Edi Rama and his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sanchez are holding a joint conference at the Prime Minister’s Office.

During the conference, Rama reacted for the first time to the tensions in the north of Kosovo.

He said that Kosovo has the right to implement reciprocity agreements and called on the Serbian presidency not to justify the actions of certain groups in the north of Kosovo.

“We talked about Kosovo, it is known that Spain has a different position for reasons that are related to Spain itself and have nothing to do with any discrimination or prejudice against the Albanian community in Kosovo and their rights, but we have discussed especially in the context of a situation that escalated completely unreasonably late last night, since the government of Kosovo has the right and the duty to implement the agreements by exercising the territorial sovereignty that originates from an independence in the administration of the state and the agreements agreed with the other party are agreements to be implemented. We welcome the 30-day postponement of the implementation of this agreement. I call on the authorities in Belgrade not to provide any excuses or alibi to certain groups in the north of Kosovo who, for their own reasons, oppose the implementation of an agreement”, said Rama.
