TIRANA, July 12 – Prime Minister Sali Berisha had a working dinner with his Kosovo counterpart Hashim Thaci last weekend, stated the premier’s press office.
They discussed in detail the intensification of the comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, a statement said.
Both premiers also focused on the regional cooperation and the European agenda for the two countries, as well as the coordination of efforts for more recognition for Kosovo.
That press office also emphasized that “talks were characterized by a complete spirit of understanding.”
Sure there is understanding between the two countries, inhabited by the same ethnic Albanian population. Sure Tirana has been one of the most active factors lobbying for neighboring Kosovo’s recognition (until now 76 countries have recognized) since its independence three years ago.
Yet there was still a hint of suspicion throughout the event. Unlike the usual public nature of such meetings at which both parties hail their counterpart and future cooperation, this meeting was unusually subdued with little public exposure or announcements.
