The Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Glauk Konjufca, has addressed the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, Cage Kallas, via a formal letter. The correspondence calls for a robust EU reaction following remarks made by a Serbian minister. Specifically, Konjufca referenced comments by minister Snezhana Paunović, who stated that she would have ethnically cleansed Kosovo had she held the position of Slobodan Milošević in 1998.
In his letter, Konjufca characterized the minister’s statement as deeply problematic, labeling it an incitement to hatred and a threat to stability within the Western Balkans. He argued that the rhetoric presented could not be dismissed as a simple misstatement or gaffe. According to the Acting Minister, the interview contained content that was revisionist and hostile, thereby undermining ongoing dialogue concerning Kosovo.
The communication serves as an official diplomatic appeal, urging the EU to take a stronger stance against such statements. Konjufca emphasized that the nature of the remarks demands a significant international response to uphold regional peace. The letter underscores the gravity with which the Albanian government views any rhetoric that appears to glorify past atrocities or jeopardize the delicate political situation in the region.
The diplomatic exchange highlights continued international concern over accountability and reconciliation processes in the aftermath of historical conflicts.
