The President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, said that he has not mentioned a Greater Albania in any of his statements. He also said that EU’s lack of leadership and vision opened way for other ideologies and impacts in the region, such as nationalism, extremism and political radicalism.

He accused “Serbia’s bad spirit which aims legitimizing a greater Serbia, acting under the nose of the EU and international community.”

He said that Serbia did not have any case against him during the reaction “but they only repeated the old stories which manipulated and intimidated people for decades.”

“Serbia should divide itself from its past and return to a new future. This means giving up policy which sees the region as enemy,” Thaci said.
