Kosovo’s Minister of Justice, Donika Gërvalla, has criticized Albania’s Prime Minister, Edi Rama, regarding a joint editorial he published with Serbian President, Aleksandar Vučić, in the German newspaper FAZ.
She said that the citizens of Kosovo will not forgive Prime Minister Rama for this article.
He added that there should be no alternatives for Albania with Serbia that do not pass through Kosovo.
“On the part of Prime Minister Rama, who surpasses even those when we have turned a blind eye in the past, is the latest article published together with Vučić in the prestigious German newspaper. I think that the citizens of Kosovo will not forgive that article to Prime Minister Rama, because the impression is created time and time again that always when Vučić is backed up against the wall by the EU, Europe, Edi Rama comes out and gets him out of that situation.”
“There should be no alternatives for Albania with Serbia that do not pass through Kosovo. The road from Tirana to Belgrade leads through Pristina, both geographically, economically, and in every aspect. So, every Albanian prime minister or president who forgets this should know that in the long run they will make big mistakes that will harm our nation even more,” she said in RTK.
This statement by Gërvalla comes after a joint editorial by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić published in the German newspaper. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
According to her, the problem with the article is the proposal that Serbia and Albania enter the European Union together.
“The problem with the article is not why Rama and Vučić wrote a joint article, but the problem with that article is that the proposal is for Serbia and Albania to join the European Union together, without mentioning in a single syllable the position that Serbia has in relation to the West, Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran and world forces that contradict in every aspect our determinations for the EU and NATO, but also with the determinations of Albania,” she said.
In this interview, Gërvalla also spoke about the blockade regarding the issue of electing the president.
She said that there is only one truth about this issue, and the truth is that there were no votes for President Vjosa Osmani in the Kosovo Assembly.
The Constitutional Court on 09.03.2026 imposed a temporary measure, prohibiting any action by the President of the Republic of Kosovo in relation to her decree dated 06.03.2026 on the dissolution of the Assembly of Kosovo, as well as prohibiting any action by the Assembly of Kosovo.
This Constitutional Court decision entered into force on 09.03.2026, and will be in force until 31.03.2026.
This decision states that the request to the Constitutional Court was filed by the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, to contest “the constitutionality of the Decree [no. 24/2026], of 06.03.2026, of the President of the Republic of Kosovo on the dissolution of the Tenth (X) Legislature of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo”.
On the morning of 06.03.2026, the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, announced the decree dissolving the Assembly of Kosovo after the president was not elected by the end of the constitutional term.
LVV has called the dissolution of the Kosovo Assembly by presidential decree an unprecedented act.
In the session held in the late hours of 05.03.2026, 66 deputies were present at the session of the Assembly of Kosovo in which the first round of voting for the President of the Republic of Kosovo would take place, while 54 were not present.
The election of the president did not take place because there was no quorum in the hall.
