TIRANA, Aug  1 /ATA/ – By Maela Marini/ Prime Minister Edi Rama on Monday called on the authorities in Belgrade, the President of Serbia, not to use any kind of excuse and alibi with certain groups in the north of Kosovo who, for their own reason, oppose the implementation of a valid agreement.

At the joint press conference in Tirana with the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, Rama focused on the situation in the north of Kosovo, while emphasizing that the agreement must also be implemented to give credibility to the dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo.

“We spoke with Prime Minister Sanchez about Kosovo. It is known that Spain’s  position is different and traditionally unwavering for reasons related to Spain itself, but which have nothing to do with any kind of discrimination or prejudice against Albanians in Kosovo and their rights. However, we discussed against the backdrop of a situation that late last night escalated unreasonably, since the government of Kosovo has the right and the duty to implement the agreements by exercising territorial sovereignty, which originates from an independence in the administration of the state and the arrangements agreed upon with the other side are to be implemented and not to be negotiated,” said Rama.

The Prime Minister also welcomed the 30-day postponement of the implementation of this agreement, which was also requested by the United States through the ambassador in Kosovo./m.m/sm/
