03/01/2014

The most commented news by analysts for the end of this year was the joing meeting of the two Albanian governments, that of Albania and Kosovo, led by Edi Rama and Hashim Thaci.

The meeting was confirmed by the Albanian PM and Kosovo Deputy PM, saying that it will be held on the second week of January.

Besides a joint strategy for concrete cooperation between Albania and Kosovo in several areas, the first meeting between both governments, which will be held in Prizren, will establish a joint fund for the Presheva Valley in Serbia.

The projects that will be realized from these funds are the building of a maternity and school, promises made by the Albanian Prime Minister during his electoral campaign.

This fund would be the first one that the Albanian governments give for the Presheva Valley, and it has been welcomed by the Presheva local leaders, who considered it delayed but welcomed. Kosovo analysts consider the commitment of the Kosovo and Albanian governments as very positive, but have not hesitated to compare it to the help that the government of Serbia is giving to northern Kosovo.

Analysts in Prishtina says more than financial helps, the Albanians of Serbia need to improve the rights of the Albanian people there. However, this is the first tike that an Albanian government from Tirana helps the valley of Albanian majority in Serbia, who often report of denied rights as a minority.
