TIRANA – Kosovo’s outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti has unveiled that his Albanian counterpart Edi Rama had refused to meet him to coordinate efforts for fighting coronavirus.
In his revelation in an interview for Euronews Albania on Tuesday Kurti said he didn’t get an answer of a letter addressed by him to Rama last March.
“In the middle of March I wrote to Prime Minister Rama, telling him to hold a meeting between Rama, Meta, Ruçi, and me, Osmani and Thaçi (Albania and Kosovo’s Prime Ministers, Presidents and Speakers of Parliament), given that we couldn’t hold the governments’ meeting. We would discuss the pandemic and other things but I never received a reply on this,” Kurti said.
Rama’s refusal to even reply to Kurti’s proposal follows the Albanian Prime Minister’s sudden decision to keep complete silence regarding events in Kosovo.He was previously very active in commenting on and supporting any agreement between Kosovo and Serbia’s Presidents, at a time when domestic and international analysts and experts warned that Thaçi and Vucic had planned to exchange territories.
Kurti’s revelation has been widely reported by Albanian media outlets some of which brought to the attention Rama’s active engagement particularly in the Thaçi-Vucic plan to exchange territories. /argumentum.al
