Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic reacted to Albanian President Ilir Meta's speech at South-East European Cooperation Process Summit in Jahorina saying that SEECP doesn't recognize Kosovo, adding that there is no room for provocations, B92 reports.

Kosovo and Albania have only made problems for themselves by not coming to the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) Summit in Sarajevo and have struck a heavy blow to regional cooperation, Bosnian Foreign Minister Igor Crnadak said on Monday, adding that he has no idea what prompted Pristina not to come to the Summit, TV N1 reports. "I still hope we'll get things back to where they were before, and that Kosovo will abolish tariffs on Bosnian products and that they'll return to the talks. We didn't provoke this.

Foreign Affairs Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina Igor Crnadak said decision of Kosovo and Albania to boycott the summit in Sarajevo represents an implementation of announced joint foreign policy of Pristina and Tirana.

Pristina's decision to ban entry to Serbian officials to Kosovo is unprecedented, said Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.

The crossing point of Morina is located at the border between Serbia and Albania, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said commenting on the statement of Kosovo President Hashim Thaci that border point Morina “unjustly divides Kosovo and Albania,” RTS reported. “Serbia within these borders is a member of the United Nations.

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic has told public broadcaster RTS that Serbia is "a small, but not a stupid country." He added that while Belgrade talks about compromise and dialogue, Pristina and Tirana are looking for ways to create ‘Greater Albania’ - an expansionist nationalist project at the expense of Albanians' neighbors - and do it under the table.
