Kosovo and Albania will never unite, Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday in reaction to Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's statement.

I promise (Albanian) Prime Minister Edi Rama that Kosovo and Albania will never unite in 'a classic way', as he put it. I am calling on Albanian leaders to stop causing instability in the region, Vucic posted on his Twitter account.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said in an interview to the Pristina-based broadcaster Klan-Kosova that Kosovo and Albania would unite in a classic way, if the EU failed to open paths for EU integration and visa-free regime.

Kosovo has been under UN interim administration since June 1999, when the armed conflicts and NATO bombing ended.

However, ethnic Albanians declared Kosovo's unilateral independence in February 2008, with tacit approval from leading western countries. Serbia does not recognize Kosovo's independence.

Djuric: Rama's statement - threat to peace , stability

Marko Djuric, director of the Serbian government's Office for Kosovo-Metohiju, stated on Tuesday that the statements by Albanian Minister Edi Rama cause a disturbance of peace and constitute a gross violation of stability in the region and a dangerous call for redrawing the borders in the Balkans.

Djuric underlined at an emergency press conference that Serbia will never allow Albania and Kosovo unite in “a classic way”, as Rama put it.

"We caution Albania to stop beating the drums of war and to devote fully to honoring international obligations and good neighborly relations," he said.

Djuric said that this is not the first time that statements are being issued implying the Albanian leadership's wish to redraw Serbia's borders and called on the international organizations, the EU and the UN in the first line, to react and voice their stance on Rama's statement.
