Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has reiterated that Kosovo’s independence is irreversible, calling on Serbia to accept the reality of Kosovo as an independent state.
Speaking at the Peace Forum at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris, Rama discussed Albania’s role in maintaining peace and stability in the region, as well as relations between Albania and Kosovo.
He said Albania had consistently pursued a peaceful foreign policy and had been actively involved in promoting peace across the region over the past decade.
Rama also stressed the importance of maintaining good relations with neighbouring countries, noting that regional stability requires cooperation despite historical and political differences.
“Albania has always been a peace-loving country, and over the past 10 years we have been very active in promoting peace in the region. There are some things in life that, no matter how free you are, you cannot choose, including your cousins and your neighbours,” Rama said.
Addressing the relationship between Albania and Kosovo, he described Kosovo’s independence as an established and irreversible reality, emphasising that it is recognised by numerous countries.
“ Kosovo is an independent state, recognised by many countries, and there is no turning back. There is no way to turn it into a Serbian fantasy. The sooner the Serbs see it as a fact, the sooner they will stop being haunted by this ghost,” Rama stated.
His remarks came during discussions at the Paris forum on regional peace, stability and international relations.
