The President of Croatia, Zoran Milanovi., Said that if Kosovo is not equally involved in the “Open Balkan” initiative, then it does not make sense.
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said during an official visit to Kosovo that the initiative should treat all countries equally.
“In these initiatives, everything must be measured and calculated, and not go head to head against the wall. “If this initiative does not cover Kosovo equally, then this initiative is irrelevant,” said Croatian President Milanvic. He said that the motives of the initiative established by Albania, Serbia and Northern Macedonia should be made clear.
The motives of the initiative must be made clear
“It does not affect us directly, but if the initiative has good intentions then we must take it into account, but provided that all states are treated the same, otherwise then we must ask what are its motives?”, Said Croatian President Milanovi..
Two days after the last meeting of “Open Balkan” held in Tirana, the President of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani, hearing the statement of the Croatian President who received him for a visit to Kosovo, said that the initiative which started as “Minishengen” in Novi “Sad has violated the principle of inclusiveness and equal regional treatment.” Osmani said that “Kosovo insists that regional cooperation continue in the framework of the Berlin process”. Whereas, according to her, “as long as Serbia leads the” Open Balkan “initiative and does not recognize Kosovo, Vuiqiiq cannot be expected to have good intentions”.
Osmani: Vucic can not have good intentions
“As long as Serbia has a key role in this initiative and does not recognize Kosovo, we can not expect from President Vucic that he has good intentions for Kosovo because the ongoing militarization of Serbia shows that there are destabilizing tendencies in the region. “When Serbia gives up the destabilizing tendency towards the region and the moment it recognizes Kosovo, then someone can take Vuiqiiq dekla’s statement that he is interested in regional cooperation”, said President Vjosa Osmani.
Two days ago, the “Open Balkan” meeting was held in Tirana with the participation of Albania as hosts, Serbia and Northern Macedonia. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama extended the invitation to join this initiative to three countries in the region, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, reiterating that “Open Balkan is a comprehensive initiative” ./ DW
