Maja Kocijancic spokeswoman of the European Commission officials Federica Mogherini and Johannes Hahn has reacted to the statement of the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, regarding “unification of Kosovo and Albania”.
“Since we reviewed what Prime Minister Rama said in the interview, we underline that the Western Balkans has a clear European perspective, determined by the EU at the highest level. All partners in the region have confirmed commitment to this goal and determination to meet the necessary criteria, with full respect for the principles and standards of the EU,” Maja Kocijancic said in a statement.
“The partners in the region are progressing each at their own pace on this path and are expected to make the necessary efforts for further progress.” “These commitments also include regional cooperation, reconciliation and good neighbourly relations while all provocative statements in this framework are unacceptable”, reads the EU statement.
