Albania is not a mediator between Belgrade and Pristina (Vecernje Novosti)
Albania has no right of vote in relations between Serbia and Kosovo, neither it has any mediation role, was one of the things that could be heard at yesterday’s debate in Tirana dubbed “Process of the EU integration and future relations between Serbian and Albania.”
“European Union is the project of peace. The thing that was always in the focus of the EU was peace, and because of that we don’t want to have any clashes in Europe,” said Head of the EU delegation in Tirana, Romana Vlahutin.
A member of the foreign affairs committee of the Albanian parliament, Arta Dade, said that Albania and Serbia have indisputable role in the regional cooperation, and added that recent visit of the Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama to Serbia contributes to the consolidation of relations between two states which aspire to EU membership.
The deputy chairperson of the foreign affairs committee of the Albanian parliament, Aldo Bumci, assessed that Rama’s visit to Serbia was a historical one. He went on to say that Kosovo is ‘independent state’ and that Albania neither has the role of a mediator between Belgrade and Pristina nor the right of vote in their relations, but that it only ‘supports Kosovo’.
