“Mr. President! I hate that I have to ask for the floor again, for the second time since I was given the impression that I was not clear enough. But in this case I need to. This is not to prolong the discussion of course, but to put the records straight. The Russian delegation made again a parallel with the Republic of Kosovo, an independent country that has been recognized by half of the United Nations Organization and also by this Council. This is wrong, inaccurate and regrettable,” said Hoxha.
“I have already reacted to similar remarks made last June, so I will keep it short. Nothing could be more artificial and forced than comparing an international effort to end the conflict, protect civilians and establish a peace process to find a lasting solution which was the case in Kosovo with the pure and unprovoked aggression and the sham referendums engineered in Moscow that are being carried out now in Ukraine,” he said.

According to Hoxha, no one is or can be fooled by this.

“No attempts to compare the incomparable, no easy short cuts out of any historic and political context will help Russia divert attention from its war in Ukraine or hide its blatant breach of international law, which makes its an international pariah. Kosovo and Serbia are engaged in a dialogue to solve their problems, They meet, they do not fight. And above all the issue here is not Kosovo, nor any part of the world, but the Russian aggression, crimes of Russia and Russia’s territorial grab to the detriment of its neighbor. We will not be misled.”
