Ali Ahmeti, leader of the Democratic Union for Integration in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, said today in Pristina that it is not the position of the FYROM government that a group of Kosovars are responsible for the recent incident in Gushnica, but that it is rather the position of an individual official. Ahmeti made these remarks after meeting Hashim Thaci, the Principal Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo. Thaci told reporters that Kosovo appreciates Ahmeti’s role in the affirmation of Albanians in FYROM. He added that a stable and European FYROM is in the interest of Kosovo and the integration in the European Union. Asked to comment on the Gushnica incident, Thaci said Kosovo institutions strongly support the Ohrid Agreement in FYROM. Ahmeti said Macedonian authorities are communicating with Albanians living along the border and that no one wants violence. Ahmeti also said that Albanians in FYROM do not want new crisis but rather the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement and equal treatment.
