Normalization of relations with Serbia is possible, but to achieve this, pressure must be put on Belgrade to implement the agreement on the path to normalization of relations. This is how Prime Minister Kurti responded to the question of whether an agreement with Serbia could be reached soon, a day after US President Donald Trump declared that the two countries had been close to the outbreak of a war.
According to Kurti, who spoke during the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the main medical center in Shtime, the handover of terrorist Milan Radojičić to Kosovo authorities is the first step that Serbia should take, writes A2 CNN.
"In order to normalize relations between our two countries, it is necessary that they, first of all, hand over to the authorities of our state Milan Radojicic, the criminal who killed our police sergeant, the hero of Kosovo, Afrim Bunjaku. Then, they agree to sign the Basic Agreement with the Implementation Annex. At the same time, they also withdraw that letter from December 2023, when former Prime Minister Brnabic said that she does not respect the territorial integrity of Kosovo," Kurti said.
Trump wrote on Sunday in “Social Truth” that during his first term as president, Kosovo and Serbia were “heading for a violent clash” and a war was about to break out, but added that he stopped it. Trump accused his successor, former President Joe Biden, of “damaging the long-term perspective with some very senseless decisions.”
During Trump's first term, in 2020, Kosovo and Serbia reached an agreement at the White House for economic normalization. This agreement, which included recognition of Kosovo's independence by Israel, has not been fully implemented. (A2 Televizion)
