TIRANA, March 15 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama expressed hope on Sunday that leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) currently on trial in The Hague will eventually return home.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Let’s Talk podcast with professor Arjan Gjonçaj, Rama discussed the ongoing proceedings at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and said he has not directly raised the matter with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
Rama suggested that Kurti may have refrained from taking a public stance to avoid complicating Kosovo’s relations with the European Union and the United States, noting that Albania had contributed mainly through advocacy and raising awareness.
“I believe he may have been cautious not to appear as challenging the international system, given his open opposition to the Tribunal,” Rama said.
The government head emphasized that he does not hold any official position in Kosovo and has no intention of interfering in its internal affairs.
Rama concluded by reiterating his and Gjonçaj’s “strong wish” that the former KLA leaders will one day return home.
