"Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama had an essential condition that will not be subject to negotiations, which is that if Kosovo is excluded from the newly established co-operation, Albania will immediately withdraw", Cakaj said in an interview with KTV.
According to Koha Ditore, he stressed that "Kosovo represents a red line for Albania in relations with the Western Balkans", Kosovo online reports.
Cakaj added that Albania is guided by the following principle: "under no circumstances should decisions be made about reliefs without the involvement of Kosovo".
Cakaj also believes that the term "mini-Schengen" should be rephrased.
"It was a trilateral meeting of Edi Rama, Aleksandar Vucic and Zoran Zaev, after previous meetings. The meetings with Montenegro, Croatia and Kosovo will follow soon, and so on. It will not be a trilateral initiative", Cakaj claims, adding that Pristina, Podgorica and Sarajevo are invited to join the initiative".
Hey Kakis, please do withdraw. This will help the forming of a Pan Orthodox Balkan Confederation a lot easier. Albos and Crows not welcome.

We comment because stories are topical sbd on the Serbian b92net.
KiM is if you have not noticed a province of ours and we have an ethnic minority living there who choose to call themselves "Albanians."
I disagree because to my mind albanians live in albania.
Its so funny you are on Serbian b92 net and are asking us why we comment? Why do you come into our space, asking us what we do.

What a bunch of puppets!
They meet just for a sake of a photo, they discuss of mini schengen, maxi schengen while in practice the Albanians from Republic of Kosovo aint yet the right to move free anywhere. Pathetic politics!

Well let's see: the so-called "mini Schengen" includes Serbia, Macedonia, and Albania, so Pristina (Kosovo) is already included since it's part of Serbia. Don't know why Cakaj needs to be all specific. I mean if he needs clarification, anything "Schengen" means free trade, which of course implies Kosovo isn't being compliant with its 100% tax on goods from Bosnia and the rest of Serbia everyone is still buying through the black market.
All things Albanian here should be cross-categorized under Humor and Believe It or Not :)

Tell someone who cares. What a bunch of yokels who think they matter. They don't. Its become a serious problem with Albos they actually think they matter in the scheme of things, that they somehow are pulling the strings LOL.
Where do you have to travel anywhere in Europe but must go through Albania? They should write a chapter on how to shoot yourself in both feet while thinking they are in control.
