The government of Kosovo issued a press release today about the latest situation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. “The Government of the Republic of Kosovo is closely following the latest developments in the Republic of Macedonia after the announcement of indictments in the Monstra case and the ensuing protests. Political dialogue between communities and the full implementation of the Ohrid Agreement is the only way to resolve open issues between communities in Macedonia. Respecting constitutional and institutional rights is the only way to avoid the escalation of violence that could have terrible consequences for the whole region. The Republic of Kosovo remains committed to the process of Euro-Atlantic integration and regional cooperation, and calls on all parties in the Republic of Macedonia to refrain from violence as means of solving political issues. The Albanian people in Macedonia have their democratically-elected representatives who are obliged to address the problems and concerns of the Albanian people in institutional fashion. The Government of the Republic of Kosovo once again calls on all parties to show maturity and use dialogue to find solutions,” the press release notes.
