Serbia-Kosovo deal crucial for peace in Balkans: PM Rama

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAR 18 - "As we approach the 21st March European Council meeting, it's crucial to remember that the implementation of the Agreement on the Path to Normalisation of Relations between Kosova and Serbia, along with its Implementation Annex, is of the utmost importance for maintaining security, stability, and peace in the Western Balkans," Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama wrote on X today.
    "Mere acknowledgement of the Agreement being legally binding is not enough. To ensure progress, the Agreement and the Implementation Annex must be formally included as integral parts of Kosova and Serbia's respective EU accession processes. Any delay in doing so only strengthens the status quo. And status quo about this strategic key for a peaceful, prosperous and European neighborhood in the middle of Europe doesn't serve the security of Europe itself," Rama stated. (ANSA).
