The government of Kosovo apparently will not have a representative at the informal meeting between the representatives of the EU and the leaders of the Balkans in Tirana.

In response to Top Channel's interest, the Media Advisor in the office of the Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, Klisman Kadiu, stated that Bislim's participation in the informal meeting was not planned, much less confirmed.

"Yesterday's news about Deputy Prime Minister Bislimi's participation in the informal meeting in Tirana is not true. It was not planned, let alone confirmed.

Since there was no confirmation from Deputy Prime Minister Bislimi, then it was not even possible to refuse his participation or his presence. Therefore, even the reports from some Albanian media regarding the rejection are nothing but speculation and being such, we can only speculate about its origin" - said Kadiu.

The leaders of the region together with the Commissioner for Enlargement, Oliver Varhelyi, will have lunch at noon on Monday, in the informal meeting, where the Berlin Process will be discussed.

The participation in the meeting was confirmed by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, the acting Prime Minister of Montenegro, Dritan Abazović, the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Dimitar Kovacevski, as well as the President of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Borjana Kristo.

Prime Minister Kurti, according to a communication from the Government of Kosovo, since yesterday is participating in the 25th edition of the SYMI International Symposium, which is held in Greece and where progressive politicians and prominent academics are participating.
