Prime Minister Edi Rama has described the United Nations session on Kosovo, convened by Serbia, as unproductive. Following discussions held there, which saw mutual accusations between Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić, Rama stated that the only solution for both countries to progress with integration and coexistence of their communities is to return to the dialogue table.
“It was a pointless session. The UN Security Council is clear that it is not the place for anything related to Kosovo. As two sovereign countries aspiring for EU membership, Kosovo and Serbia should fully focus on dialogue facilitated by the EU and concentrate on reaching agreements on financial circulation, postal service, double taxation, and all other issues that benefit the daily lives of ordinary people, ensuring a peaceful future for generations to come,” writes Rama on the X platform.
While emphasizing Kosovo’s support to preserve its territory, Rama stated that Prime Minister Kurti should cooperate and coordinate with allies.
“As we stand by Kosovo in preventing any external threat, Albania will continue to emphasize to the Kosovar leadership the importance of close coordination with its key allies. A steadfast and consistent stance with them demonstrates a sense of vision and state responsibility, while any instance of standing alone in pursuit of full recognition diminishes the country’s position in the public sphere of international relations,” Rama wrote.
On February 8, an extraordinary session of the UN on Kosovo was held at the request of Serbia following the decision of the Central Bank of Kosovo to withdraw the dinar as well as the closure of some Serbian offices in Kosovo municipalities.
Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, stated that Serbia committed genocide in the 20th century and remains the biggest threat to peace and security. On the other hand, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated that Kosovo has created unbearable conditions for Serbs and that such a situation could harm the survival of the Serbian community there.
