There will be no unification with Kosovo, Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha said Saturday. He told the Austrian APA agency in Tirana that, "after the forthcoming declaration of Kosovo's independence," his country will not seek to make the Serbian province a part of its territory. Albanian PM: We don't want Kosovo "Simply because the division from one century ago created two very different Albanian realities – one in Tirana, another in Pristina," Berisha cited the reasons. "If the population of Kosovo could vote for independence or unification [with Albania], I'm absolutely certain that 98, if not 99 percent would choose independence. Reality must be respected," he said. Today Albania faces different challenges than those found in Kosovo, Berisha said, and added, "in ten years' time Albania will be a developed country, and certainly an EU and NATO member."
