While participating in the panel organised by the Institute of International and European Affairs ( IIEA) in Dublin, Prime Minister Edi Rama has commented on political developments in Serbia and their impact on the region’s integration processes.
During co-operation with diplomats and regional experts, Rama noted that political changes in Belgrade still do not guarantee a turning point in relation to Pristina or foreign policy towards Russia.
He underlined that without a steady progress report with Kosovo, Serbia will continue to remain hostage to its political past.
It is no secret that the EC has had problems with the previous government in Serbia. Law-state issues and other fundamental requirements, but on the other hand, it is too early to say something exactly with what comes next. Serbia is undergoing a social experiment with the so-called Student List. It’s quite new in many ways, but as far as we Albanians are concerned, it seems there is no opening as far as normalisation is concerned with Kosovo, opening up for sanctions with Russia or those considered to be closing with the past government. It’s still early. If there is no normalisation with Kosovo, the ghost of the past will continue to follow Belgrade, he has declared.
