At a regular press briefing, Zakharova said that Russia cannot remain without comment on this statement. Rama also said that "unification of Kosovo and Albania is not 'plan B' but 'plan A'," Sputnik is reporting.
"Maybe we had not translated this statement well - which is why we checked it several times," Zakharova said, and continued: "The Albanian prime minister linked the implementation of this plan with the correction of the borders that are actively discussed at the end of the negotiation process and the achievement of the final agreement between Belgrade and Pristina,"she said.
Zakharova stressed that Russia considers such rhetoric "absolutely inadmissible."
As she pointed out, this is a matter of reaching for the territory of Serbia, and for the status of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo.
"We consider this to be a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1244. We expect the West to respond to such a statement and such geopolitical plans," Zakharova said.
This undermines stability and worsens trust in the Balkan region, and complicates the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, concluded Zakharova.
She also said that Russia's position on a solution to the Kosovo issue was unchanged.
Asked whether Russia would support "delimitation" - she reiterated that Russia is in favor of any solution that fits the interests of the Serb people, is based on international law, and is in line with Serbian domestic legislation.
"Our position is unchanged. It is distinguished not only by its persistence, but also by its logic. And that logic is very simple: the question of how this situation will be solved is primarily the question of whether this solution corresponds to the interests of the Serb people. It also should definitely be based on international law and correspond to the internal legislation of Serbia," Zakharova said, when asked whether Russia would support an agreement on "delimitation" of Kosovo and whether the idea was in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1244.
According to Sputnik, Zakharova stated that Russia's position on the one hand is composed of many components, and on the other, it is based on a clear and unequivocal approach to a solution to this issue.
What is true is Kosovo is no longer a Serbian province ;) Don't worry about whether it is an Albanian province or a State, you're not Albanian - it doesn't apply to you to know.

USA does spread democracy and saves lives all over the globe! It stops criminal countries like Serbia to act like wild animals! By the way Kosova enjoys support from all democratic countries not just USA!
Yankees, British and Germans are always welcomed in Kosova!
(Glow, 26 February 2019 15:39)
Glow, I agree that Russia should mind its own business, but so should the USA.
But I guess for you its ok for the Yanks to butt in where they like and spread "democracy".
As for democracy and human rights go ask the Libyas, Iraqis, Afghans, Vietnamese, and half of central and south America, etc, how US democracy works for them...!
And why not go ask the many thousands in jail in Guantanamo Bay about US human rights.. I'm guessing you have very little to say on the above points, have you?
I'll tell you again that people living in glass houses should not throw stones.

Hope Sandzak, Vojvodina hot heads have learnt a valuable lesson from *Kosovo. All stolen from rep.

Serbia does not have a master like the Shiptars do with the U.S
We are neutral.
Albo's are scared and hide behind U.S for protection.
They want Serbia's land they dont want to help you land grabbing muslims.
The province is impoverished with unemployment and no food.
I must say there are plenty of goats and donkeys there.
You will all believe me when you see it happen to your people. The U.S turned against Kurds after they used them to kill your ISIS brothers. Now Kurds have NO U.S support.
Dropped like a hot potato and so will Kosovo*

KOSOVO was never ever an Albanian provinz ! All Saarland speaks FRENCH , but we, Germans will never allow Saarland to belong to FRANCE !
Just because plenty of people speak a language, it does not mean ,that they ought to become citizens of the neighbouring country , does it ?
The Albanian Prime Minister ought NOT to provoke with such " unbedachten " , "spantanen " comments, because we, here, in Germany , will do anything , that Albania is not accepted in the EU & NATO !
The nations of the EU gave KOSOVO independence , because it was a BLOODY war and WE, GERMANS wanted this war to finnaly havde an end !
The Kosovars do not have any right of SELFDETERMINATIONaccording to Article 1 (2) UNO Charter, because the population of Kosovo is NOT homogen! It concists also of SERBIANS, GYPSIES, ethnic Bulgarians and Croatians.
All tese ethnic groups do not fulfill the definition of a " FOLK" according to Article 1 ( Subsection 2 ) UNO Charter.

Luckily Albania doesn't have any real relation with Russia, so it will fall on deaf ears.
Reality is simple: Srpska is more Serbian than Bosnian and Kosovo absolutely is more Albanian than Serbian. All one must do is walk on the street, speak to the people.
(LOL, 25 February 2019 19:35)
But he's right. Kosovo is a part of Albania. Albanian land, Albanian territory and Albanian property. Kosovo will join Mother Albania

Oops, I must have touched a nerve!
That is the truth, Serbia is Putin's experimental project! Serbia is exploited to no-end by Russia and that is how Serbia is not ever going to join the EU as Putin doesn't approve and serbs can't decide on their own. Russia likes Serbia isolated and barely functional!

Only problem is The Republic Of Kosova is inhabited by a whopping 97 % majority Albanian populous and they will be deciding on their future, NOT Serbia nor Russia better luck somewhere else!!!

Leave Kosovo alone.
Kosovo won’t be part of Albania and Kosovo won’t be part of Serbi that is it.
We are free independent and sovereign state and all neighbour country’s need to stop these games.
Why so much Love to wards Kosovo why instead of eyeing for Kosovo why you don’t help Kosovo people prosper more achieve more help them integrate more both Albania and Serbia want only to use Kosovo for their own interest not for Kosovo people.
Enough is enough Kosovo is nobody else but People of Kosovo.

Hahaha, I love it. Lets just Annex Kosovo with Albania. Immediately in the UN and NATO as well. Serbia and Russia can weep together in the security council. Actually no, Russia will betray Serbia as Trump will make a deal with them on the status of Krim. All the problems solved.
