Although at the meeting of regional leaders in Tirana the Government of Kosovo confirmed the arrival of Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi instead of Prime Minister Aljbin Kurti, he will not participate in the meeting due to protocol reasons, reports ABC News from Tirana.
"The Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo was informed by the organizers of the meeting that his level is secondary and not appropriate, and that the documents of the meeting will be sent to the Government of Kosovo, that is, to the Cabinet of the Prime Minister," that television reported.
The Vice-President of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (DPK), Vljora Citaka, called Prime Minister Aljbin Kurti's behavior childish and irresponsible, who said that he could not participate in the informal meeting in Tirana, due to his participation in the conference in Greece.
"Childish and politically inappropriate behavior of Prime Minister Kurti. How can a conference on the beautiful islands of Greece be more important than a meeting with regional leaders and the European Commission in Tirana? Prime Minister Edi Rama did not invite you to a family celebration, but to a meeting with regional leaders, as part of the Berlin process," she wrote to Chitaku.
She added that there should be nothing personal in such meetings.
"Your non-participation in such meetings is no longer a personal rejection of your support for Rama. There is nothing personal here. Your impatience and insolent approach towards the Albanian prime minister is harming Kosovo," she wrote to Čitak.
Participation in today's informal meeting in Tirana, in addition to the EU Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Relations Oliver Varheji, was confirmed by the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, Acting Prime Minister of Montenegro Dritan Abazović, Prime Minister of North Macedonia Dimitar Kovačevski, as well as the President of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina Borjana Krišto.
These coordination meetings are intended for the region to create a joint plan of action when it sits at the table in front of the European Union in October.
The Berlin summit is a format initiated by Germany, in which all the countries of the Western Balkans participated without reservation
