The Vice President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Enver Hoxhaj, is of the opinion that Kosovo should become part of the “Open Balkans” initiative and thus increase cooperation with the countries of the region.
In an interview for “Top Story”, Hoxhaj said that Kosovo should participate in regional organizations or initiatives.
“As long as I have been in the position of Foreign Minister, we have followed an approach that allows Kosovo to be part of every organization, in every regional initiative. The Open Balkans is not even an organization, it is an informal group of states, like the G7 or G20. And in my view, it would be easy for Kosovo if it behaves constructively, creatively and participates in the Open Balkans and asks for support from the states for us to become part of the Council of Europe, to become part of the partnership for peace of NATO. You cannot say no to an informal initiative for cooperation in the region and ask partners from different countries to support you, either in Strasbourg or in Brussels”.
“Open Balkan” was created by the initiative of Edi Rama, the Prime Minister of Albania, Aleksander Vučić, the President of Serbia and Zoran Zaev, the former Prime Minister of North Macedonia, who devised this concept in order to create an area of free movement of people, goods and services in the Western Balkans.
The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, refuses for Kosovo to become part of the initiative, as long as Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as an independent state.
