Serbian consulate in Shkodër, Shehaj demands immediate government withdrawal

Agron Shehaj, leader of the Mundësia Party, has strongly opposed reports that Albania and Serbia are holding negotiations to open a Serbian Consulate in Shkodër. According to him, such an initiative is unacceptable at a time when Western countries are isolating the regime of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

Shehaj called on the Albanian government to immediately withdraw from this process and take responsibility for the situation, reports “Bota sot.” He stated that protecting Albania’s national interest can only be achieved by offering unconditional support to the Albanians of the Preševo Valley.

In his reaction, the head of the Mundësia Party described it as unforgivable that Tirana is negotiating with Belgrade for a Serbian Consulate in Shkodër, precisely at a time when, as he put it, the entire West is isolating Vučić’s regime.

He also recalled that Serbia continues to refuse to accept responsibility for the genocide in Kosovo and, at the same time, maintains a hostile rhetoric. As an example, Shehaj mentioned the unacceptable statement made a few weeks ago by the minister regarding the ethnic cleansing of Albanians.

In conclusion, Shehaj reiterated his demand that the Albanian government withdraw without delay and give an account for what is happening in the heart of Tirana.
