Kosovo’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Xhelal Sveçla, expressed his dissatisfaction on Wednesday evening over Albania’s stance following the controversial statements by Serbian Minister Snezhana Paunović.
He said he expects a more decisive and engaged reaction from official Tirana, emphasizing that the stance taken so far was not adequate.

Sveçla called for exposing what he described as Belgrade’s “hypocrisy,” arguing that the hostility is not directed solely against Kosovo but against all Albanians.
“Naturally, considering that Albania is the mother state and that its own Constitution obliges it to protect Albanians and their interests wherever they are, I expect more. I expect a real and proactive reaction to these threats. Because this is not just about words, but about threats that are fueled by our painful past and by Serbia’s traditional behavior. I think Albania should have a more substantial and energetic reaction. This minister was a deputy and part of the Serbia-Albania Friendship Group, a group where, unfortunately, Serbian chauvinists have participated. We need to unmask this cunning behavior of Belgrade, because their problem is not Kosovo, but Albanians as a whole,” said Minister Sveçla.
