Edi Rama

BELGRADE - Director of the Serbian government's Office for Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) Marko Djuric has said that Tuesday's statement by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama about a unification of Albania and Kosovo is an attempt to blackmail the European Union, apart from being a blunt and brutal threat to stability and peace in the region.

BELGRADE - Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic told Tuesday Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and Kosovo Foreign Minister Hasim Taci they will "not finish their dreams of unification of Albania and Kosovo, no matter who supports them in this."

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama warned the EU that his country could unify with Kosovo "in the classic way" in case the Union did not intensify the integration of Pristina.

Rama made this statement during a joint interview with Kosovo's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci on Tuesday, B92 reports.
