Former Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati has addressed recent remarks made by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who acknowledged the acquisition of Chinese hypersonic missiles intended for combat aircraft. This purchase was reportedly a reaction to the developing military alliance between Albania, Kosovo, and Croatia. In a social media communication, Bushati highlighted Vučić’s return to a familiar tactic – “the old game with two soundtracks.” He contends that this strategy involves delivering distinct messages, one aimed at European nations and another tailored for domestic political gain.
Bushati believes this approach has been instrumental in preserving the existing situation within the Western Balkans. The situation underscores ongoing tensions. “Only a few days after the Serbian President and the Albanian Prime Minister published a joint article in the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung regarding the acceptance of a “second-level” membership in the EU, the Serbian president has returned to… potentially issuing threats.” Bushati’s comments suggest a deliberate effort to destabilize the region.
The former minister’s response emphasizes the need for a more direct and transparent dialogue. He views Vučić’s actions as a continuation of a strategy designed to maintain the current balance of power, despite the evolving security landscape and the potential for increased instability within Albania and the broader Western Balkans.
