State Secretary with the Serbian Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija Oliver Ivanovic stated that the dangerous concept of 'greater Albania' has never ceased to exist, but it can never materialize because there is no consensus of political powers in the EU and in the world.
State Secretary with the Serbian Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija Oliver Ivanovic stated that the dangerous concept of 'greater Albania' has never ceased to exist, but it can never materialize because there is no consensus of political powers in the EU and in the world.
Whenever there is an incident, or when some big political tensions or frictions are happening, the concept of 'greater Albania' arises and garners great publicity, Ivanovic told Tanjug.
Commenting on the presence of a number of representatives of Albanians from Presevo and Bujanovac (south Serbia) at the meeting in Tirana on October 30, who backed the List for Natural Albania regarding the creation of a single state of all Albanians in the Balkans, Ivanovic said that can only mean a greater pressure on the Serbian government with the aim of attaining some privileged or better positions.
The conclusion of the meeting in Tirana is that The List for Natural Albania will submit a request to the International Court of Justice in The Hague to review the London Conference of 1913, as well as the Congress of Berlin, so as to, as they put it, rectify mistakes towards Albanians that occurred after the Ottoman withdrawal from this region.
The meeting was attended by representatives of the municipality of Presevo Rami Mustafa and Orhan Redzepi, and leader of the Movement for Democratic Progress Jonuz Musliju.
Leader of the Party for Democratic Action and only Albanian MP in the Serbian Assembly Riza Haljimi, and member of the same party and Bujanovac mayor Saip Kamberi did not attend the meeting.
The notion of 'natural Albania' envisages a single state of all Albanians in the Balkans in which they would have the same rights. That state would include parts of the territories of FYRMacedonia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia.
