Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti has set a clear condition for Serbia’s next government to recognise Kosovo’s independence.
In an interview with Radio France Internationale (RFI), Kurti expressed hope that the Student List, which reportedly won Serbia’s 25 October parliamentary elections, would take a new approach to Kosovo and commit to normalising relations between the two countries.
He said the list’s position would become clear once a government was formed. He urged it to accept the political reality and recognise that Kosovo’s independence is irreversible.
“Recognising Kosovo’s independence is the fundamental test of democracy in Serbia,” Kurti said, adding that democracies should work together on shared interests and avoid confrontation.
In the same interview, Kurti also criticised Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, recalling that he had served as a minister under Slobodan Milošević.
Kurti’s remarks come as attention turns to political developments in Serbia and how changes there could affect dialogue and relations with Kosovo.
Kurti also reiterated Kosovo’s aspiration to join the European Union.
