Kurti: The time has come for Spain to recognize Kosovo's independence

Prime Minister Albin Kurti has emphasized that it is paradoxical that Spain does not yet recognize Kosovo's independence.

In an interview with the Spanish newspaper "El Mundo", Kurti said that Kosovo is committed to full integration into the European Union and that this path, according to him, should not be conditioned by relations with Serbia.

"It is paradoxical that Spain, a consolidated democracy, does not recognize Kosovo, a pro-European country that opposes Russian influence, maintaining a position close to Serbia. I think the time has come for Spain to recognize Kosovo's independence ," Kurti stressed.

Kurti said that other countries, inside and outside the European Union, that have even stronger ties to Serbia than Spain, have nevertheless recognized Kosovo.

"This precedent shows that the recognition of Kosovo is not necessarily conditioned by economic ties with Serbia, but by a sovereign decision based on the principles of justice and international stability. If Spain recognizes Kosovo, it would be an implicit step towards stability within the Balkans. The enlargement of the European Union is on the negotiating table in Brussels and this would be a perfect response to those who seek to weaken the integrity and unity of Europe ," Kurti underlined.
