President Bajram Begaj delivered his speech at the UN General Assembly, from where he called on countries to recognize Kosovo's independence.
During his speech, Begaj said that Albania is sensitive to the integrity of Kosovo and that it supports the ongoing difficult dialogue with Serbia.
The President also mentioned the Albanians of the Presheva Valley, whom he said should enjoy the same rights as the Serbs living in Kosovo.
"Both Albania and Kosovo have consistently defended peace over tensions and conflicts, and we remain committed to this path. We hope our contributions are recognized and we don't let the efforts we make be overshadowed by negative approaches. In this context, Albania supports the ongoing difficult dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia facilitated by the careful mediation of the European Union and the strong support of the United States.
At the same time, Albania remains sensitive to the integrity and prosperity of Kosovo. Kosovo has managed to heal many deep wounds from the tragic past. The rights of Serbs in Kosovo reflect European norms and values, the same should apply to the Albanian minority in the Presheva Valley, in the south of Serbia.
Unfortunately, we still remain concerned about the inactiveness of their residential addresses and the lack of significant investment and economic incentives in that region. Kosovo has proven that pain does not need to give rise to enmity; it must translate into understanding and support.
However, Kosovo is still waiting for recognition of its independence from many countries. I hope that these countries will soon recognize Kosovo's contribution to a fairer, more peaceful global community and give Kosovo the recognition it deserves. Recognize the independence of Kosovo", said Begaj.
