Vjosa Osmani: "Little Schengen", big mistake (Blic, KTV)

LDK candidate for Prime Minister Vjosa Osmani called the idea of the Balkan "mini-Schengen", agreed Thursday by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and Northern Macedonia Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, "a big mistake."

- I think it's an accident that something like that happened. I do not know if Prime Minister Rama consulted with anyone in Kosovo before reaching such an agreement, however, it is a total mistake - Osmani told Pristina based KTV's Rubicon show.

Osmani justified this view by stating that "Albania and Serbia do not touch each other (they do not border each other) except through Kosovo."

She also said that Kosovo's goal so far has been to be accepted in all regional initiatives.

- In addition, we see that Serbia not only obstructs Kosovo, but also Albania ignores us in this case. It is absolutely wrong for Albania to agree to an agreement to which Kosovo is not a party, not even as an independent state - said Osmani, quoted Belgrade based daily Blic.
