The statement was made for the Beta agency on Wednesday by Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for EU High Representative Federica Mogherini, who stressed that "the Western Balkans has a clear European perspective, as was recently confirmed by the European Council," the heads of state or government of the union.
"We work with all partners in the region to achieve this goal, based on the principles of reconciliation and regional cooperation," she said, when asked by the agency to convey EU's position on Rama's statement.
The spokeswoman added that "any form of political interference undermines the consolidation of good neighborly relations" in the region.
Beta said that previously, "a NATO official at the Brussels headquarters expressed concern about the recent deterioration of security circumstances in the Western Balkans and stressed he strongly encourages leaders in the region to live up to their responsibilities and continue on the road of dialogue and reconciliation."
Albanians are natives to the balkans. Serbs are gypsies from Siberia. Case closed. Not to mention albanians are more lighter than gypsy serbs

I love how the albanians, bosnians, cros and slovenes act like they are all innocent and they are one of the same. Uhm, newsflash, why dont you go further educate yourself- since all of you people seem to love fabricating history- and see what Wx Yugoslavian genetics are. Hate to break it to you but serbs, montenegrins, slovenians, croatians, bosnians, and macedonians are ALL the same DNA and ALL were once Orthodox. Face the facts. Albanians never had ANYTHING to do do with Yugoslavia. They have a E haplogroup which stems from Northern Africa. LEARN about your roots, and atop preaching because you look really stupid.

HAHAHA!!! Azir, all of your comments on this site are dumb, but this one is without question the dumbest of all! The EU is made up of Germany, Holland, Spain, France and up until last year Great Britain, among other countries. Combined,these countries colonized a good portion of the globe at one time or another. The histories of these nations that are rooted in taking other people's land for their own gain. They couldn't care less about the indigenous people of the Balkans or anywhere else for that matter. Go learn history before spouting ridiculous, uneducated and inaccurate comments.

Territories do not increase because the second poorest territory of the region wants to merge with the first poorest territory of the region.
I know of no instance in the history of the world where something like this ever happened and the 5 points above were not met.

Territories do not increase when territory A merges with territory B, because that's a law a physics. The size of territory(A) + the size of territory (B) = size of territory(A+B) always, regardless of your other 4 points or how poor or rich those territories are. The laws of physics can never be broken :)

The EU supports INDIGENOUS Unity..
(Azir, 19 April 2017 22:59)
Step off your INDIGENOUS high-horse, you mussel.
Do you really believe that SLAVS replaced the INDIGENOUS population since the last great migration?? If you do then you're really, really, REALLY stupid!
Go read some scientific DNA research, archaeology and history, and maybe, just maybe - but the chance is pretty small - you might learn what INDIGENOUS stands for.

Serbia has kept Kosovo from EU processes for too long and is wasting precious years of everyone's time. If the EU wants to waste more time and is not ready to slap Serbia into reality and force them recognize Kosovo, then Kosovo will join Albania and apply for EU together as a package. Does not seem the EU is ready to expand anymore, so this unification won't make a difference to anyone.

Territories increase when larger powers agree to it.
Territories increase when other countries of the region support it.
Territories increase when a military is strong enough to defend the new borders.
Territories increase when an economy is strong enough to support the new borders.
Territories do not increase because the second poorest territory of the region wants to merge with the first poorest territory of the region.
I know of no instance in the history of the world where something like this ever happened and the 5 points above were not met.

The European Union has said that "political interference undermines the consolidation of good neighborly relations."
This is precisely what Serbia has been doing the last 27 years, just ask the Slovenians, Croatians, Bosnian Muslims and Kosovar Albanians.
(The Count of Kosova, 20 April 2017 03:58)
In the 1990's Serbia wanted all Serbs from the occupied areas of Croatia and BiH to join with Serbia into one big country for Serbs, everyone was waving Serbian flags in support of it since it was a Serbian right for all Serbs to live in one country.
Now 25 years later how things have changed when you start to get a taste of your own medicine.

The EU will protect us as much as we follow the rules and act rationally. As soon as they give up on us, there will be no reason to not let Albanians have their way.
(Vojvodina, 19 April 2017 22:32)
LOL, yeah so much for the outrage we were told to expect from Brussels. By now everybody seems to know and accept that the union of Albania and Kosova, is inevitable.
(Therret Prizreni, 19 April 2017 19:55)
Once again Rama-lama the Albanian DingDong known for "political interference" is told to sit down and stop acting like the ass everyone knows him to be.
(LOL, 19 April 2017 17:00)
serbia is bitch slapped at least twice a year..ans not enough harsh...caused three wars and still speaks about peace and coexistence
(glen, 19 April 2017 15:46)
No one condemned Rama in any way, shape, or form . Fact of the matter is EU leaders know it too.
Although Serbs will bark every now and then just to be heard and let others know they're still al8ve some where.
Other than that, EU has no problem with it, and there isn't much they can do. Kosovo and Albania are practically united. Artificial borders, that's all there is to it.
