Prime Minister Edi Rama reacted to the attitude of his counterpart Albin Kurti, who did not meet him during his visit to Kosovo as part of the Balkan tour. 

Rama again left open the possibility of a meeting, as he said that it is important to talk and meet, even when they have different opinions. 

As he said that he cannot interpret the positions of Albin Kurti, Prime Minister Edi Rama said that he wanted a meeting with Kurti earlier, after the cancellation between the two governments, but it did not take place due to the commitments of the Prime Minister of Kosovo. 

"I did not come with a mission to interpret Albini's position, the most important thing today is for people to meet and talk, and moreover when they have different positions, because by meeting and talking, maybe they understand each other better. I have tried to communicate, but it has been difficult. It's such a moment and I don't want to judge. There is also a misunderstanding as if the cancellation of the meeting came as a precursor to EU measures, in fact the opposite. I wanted a meeting to convey some concerns and I wanted to ease the position of Kosovo. I have asked Borrell to delay the release of the measures for a few days in an effort to understand the situation and the parties. It was not possible to make the meeting because Albini was very busy, he was not available for other work. I said that we cannot act as if nothing is happening and hold a meeting as if everything is going perfectly", said Rama. 

Rama says that the cancellation of the meetings of the two governments was not a stab in the back, on the contrary, according to him, it is an extension of the hand in a situation where they should have more communication. 

"It is the opposite of the knife, it is the extension of the hand in a situation where we want to talk more with each other" - said Rama.
