Basha: The moment for the 4 NATO member states to recognize Kosovo's independence

Chief Democrat Lulzim Basha has today called on 4 NATO member states to recognize Kosovo's independence. Through a skype connection for the show Open, the democratic leader said that Albania should be by Kosovo's side, and give unconditional support.

"There is only one responsible, this is well known, the US and the EU know it too. Serbia is responsible. Sabotage of the dialogue process is required. Mr. Vucic is responsible. I do not comment on Kurti's positions in this format, as he chooses them himself. Important at this moment to be recognized by the 4 member countries of NATO, of the independence of Kosovo. This is the moment, that in such a crisis, I point out how fragile the situation is and this situation could get out of control. But it can also happen, since the situation is unknown, it can get out of control. My call, of the DP, is the recognition of Kosovo's independence from these 4 EU states. The task of the government of Kosovo is to become a factor for unification.

Albania's duty is to support Kosovo, to provide support for whatever Kosovo needs. Not to do anything without coordination with Kosovo. This is the duty of Albania. In any situation, especially in a situation like this. Albania's duty is to stand by Albania's side and not do anything against it. Serbia's intentions towards Kosovo, which is to occupy the territories. This is a Serbian project, a destruction of the security architecture in which NATO has invested, it is Putin's clear goal to destabilize the Balkans," said Basha.
