Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama will hold a videoconference with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vuçiç and his North Macedonia counterpart, Zoran Zaez to discuss about the “Balkans Schengen”.

Albaniandailynews.com has learned that the videoconference in question will be held on June 29.

However, Kosovo has refused to participate in this meeting despite the invitation. Kosovo has refused all meetings related to “Balkan Schengen”, even before, every time it was called upon to take part.

On October 2020, it was North Macedonia’s PM who declared that the leaders would invite Kosovo to join the regional Schengen initiative, while informing that the improvement of wider regional cooperation will be the reason for him to meet with the two leaders.

“In my country, it is said that we do not choose our neighbors, but they are the first to come to the rescue. Therefore, we expect Kosovo to join the regional initiative, so that its inclusive character is a priority for the region, regardless of open political issues”, said Zaev at the time.
