After the support that the President of the European Council Charles Michel gave to Prime Minister Edi Rama's idea for a high-level conference between Kosovo and Serbia to reach an agreement, the head of the Albanian government has considered the progress up to this point to be good news.
In a reaction on his Twitter account, the head of the government says that the region cannot be dragged into, as he said, a completely pointless conflict.
Rama calls for a united region in order to advance the integration process. Also, according to him, this is the time for the Kosovo authorities to prove with deeds that the region belongs to the Berlin Process and not to the "Kremlin's dreams."
"A good news is the progress of the idea of the highest level conference, without a deadline, until reaching a full agreement on the implementation of the Franco-German Plan between Kosovo and Serbia, which today was supported by President Charles Michel himself.
Our region cannot be dragged into a completely pointless, absurd conflict, where the fire of nationalism is played with, producing every day reasons for fighting, with actions and inactions, accusations and counter-accusations, which are daily degrading the situation in the North of Kosovo and are undermining the very edifice built with so much effort of regional cooperation.
Today, when in Brussels, the preparation of a new financial and economic support plan for the countries of our region entered the work agenda of the Commission; when Albania prepares to host the First Summit of the Berlin Process in the Western Balkans; when we must all be united, to advance this vital process for our common European future, strengthening our ties, our economies, our common market, the North of Kosovo is offering the world the screening of a black and white film of the old Balkans, which can only entertain cynical spectators in the East of the borders of the European Union... The authorities of Kosovo must prove today, with deeds and not words, that this region belongs to the Berlin Process and not to the dreams of the Kremlin, and Kosovo does not may be the unconscious fabric upon which those dreams are projected,", writes Rama on Twitter.
