Moscow: Promoting the implementation of the "Greater Albania" is in contradiction with UN Security Council Resolution 1244
The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the statement by Albania's Prime Minister, Edi Rama, about the unification of his country with Kosovo, calling it "completely unacceptable."
The Foreign Ministry's comments came in a press release by its Spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, who stressed that "promoting plans to create a 'Greater Albania' runs starkly counter to UNSC Resolution 1244 and undermines stability in the region."
The statement also added that it will wait for a "response from the Western curators of the Kosovo 'statehood' project to this brazen provocation."
Rama had declared on Sunday that he looks forward to having one president for both countries (Albania and Kosovo), in a speech he gave before Kosovo's Parliament on the 10th anniversary of Kosovo's announcement of its secession from Serbia.
