Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Prime Minister Edi Rama seem to continue to have "irritated" relations. Even though he came to Pristina today, Rama will not have a meeting with his counterpart Kurti.

The Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, is in Kosovo for the 25th anniversary of liberation, where in the morning he was received by the president of the country, Vjosa Osmani. The head of the Albanian government did not meet the head of the Kosovo government, Albin Kurti.

The Government of Kosovo has shown that based on the agenda, it seems that Rama is meeting those whom he considers that he needs to adjust the reports.

The Prime Minister's Office has invited Rama for an activity on June 12 for the 25th anniversary of liberation, but they have been told that it is not possible for him to be present, while they wished him to be present at the Manifestation of the 146th Anniversary of the League of Prizren.

"Based on the agenda so far, it seems that in Pristina, the Prime Minister of Albania, Rama, is meeting with those with whom he considers that he needs to adjust his relations. On the other hand, Prime Minister Kurti, his office, has invited Prime Minister Rama to the activities marking the 25th anniversary of the liberation of Kosovo on June 12.

Prime Minister Rama, namely his Office, has informed us that he will not be able to be present on June 12. He is welcome to join the activities of the state agenda. We wish you to come to the 146th annual Manifestation of the League of Prizren, because the League of Prizren is not only of Kosovo".

The Prime Minister's Office on Monday morning revealed Prime Minister Kurti's agenda, which sparked reactions for not meeting Kurti. Even when asked by journalists, he did not answer the question about a possible meeting with Edi Rama.

Unlike Kurti, Osmani welcomed the Albanian prime minister with a smile.

"Together, to mark the most important moments in the history of our people! Welcome Prime Minister Rama!", President Osmani described the meeting with the head of the Albanian executive.

In addition to the meeting with Osman, Rama in Pristina has agreed to be welcomed in the afternoon by the Mayor of the capital city, Pëparim Rama, where he will be honored with the "Key to the City" in a special ceremony.

The Albanian Prime Minister was also a participant in the "Rugova and the West" International Conference, where he was hosted by the President of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lumir Abdixhiku.

On this occasion, Edi Rama has exalted the figure of the former president of Kosovo, Ibrahim Rugova. He said that without Rugova there would be no Kosovo Liberation Army.

According to him, without his policy of getting closer to the allies, the guns of the KLA soldiers would not even echo along with the NATO bombings on Belgrade.

"Rugova was a revolutionary with the wisdom of a statesman and a revolutionary statesman. Rugova was like an intellectual drawn from the archives of the romantic era," said Rama.

The head of the Albanian Government said that there is no other politician like Rugova.

"He was inimitable and inexplicable to the end how he managed to impose the course of his politics on the people. Rugova gave his people a strength never known in our lands".

According to him, Rugova was the only one in this country who understood that the conflict is not the path to long-term justice./ Monitor magazine
