Pacolli unhappy with treatment of Pristina delegation

The delegation participated in the Digital Summit of the Western Balkans held in the capital this week. Pacolli accused Serbia of "destructiveness and aggression," Pristina-based Albanian language daily Koha is reporting on Friday.

Pacolli said that Pristina's representatives "had the right to participate in the summit" and believes that Belgrade - which does not recognize the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo, its southern province - "should treat them as a delegation from any other state."
He claims that by "not recognizing the Pristina delegation as a delegation from any other state, Belgrade violated previously reached agreements," and also that Belgrade did this "in an organized way without respecting any rules."
Pacolli told a press conference that during a panel at the summit, organizers allegedly turned off the microphone used by a member of the Pristina delegation "gave it to someone from the audience who sent a chauvinist message against Kosovo."
Pacolli also claims that similar "situations occurred on other panels" and revealed that he "blames the host."
