[ALBSA-Info] Interesting Question

>From an interview with Paskal Milo regarding teh Budapest meeting

- While the representatives of Kosovo demanded that its final status 
should be independence, why didnt the Albanian delegation support this? 

- We did not oppose the goal of the representatives of the Albanians of 
Kosovo for its independence. It cannot be said we did not agree on that 
issue, but we provided our arguments and elaborated them given the 
responsibility as representatives of the Albanian state because the 
future of Kosovo is seen within the process of the regional and European 
integration. There are two ways to express this, which lead to a 
conclusion: today or tomorrow an independent Kosovo will be part of the 
integrated region in the European family. 

So, there are no fundamental differences in connection to Kosovos future, 
when it is anticipated that it will be part of the European Union. It is 
a question of time, when different political forces think that Kosovo can 
be independent and integrated. So, it is a question of time, not a 
substantial issue.

The Albanian state abides by the fundamental obligations and objectives 
anticipated to be achieved by the resolution 1244 as the only framework 
of the mandate of action of the international community. But the 
practical implementation of the resolution has brought about a lot of 
difficulties. Its just interpretation, in compliance with the existing 
realities, would contribute to the immediate normalisation of the 
situation there.
