Vucic: Kurti promoted "Greater Albania" in Tetovo; a threat to the region

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, said today that the scandal of scandals was that Albin Kurti had promoted the idea of a "Greater Albania" in North Macedonia.

"What happened in North Macedonia is a scandal of scandals. The idea of a 'Great Albania' was promoted there, its symbols were highlighted, and Kurti was presented as the Prime Minister of all Albanians and the Prime Minister of Tetovo, among other things," Vucic pointed out on TV Pink.

He referred to the renaming of Second Macedonian Brigade Street in Skopje to Adem Demaci Street, recalling that this was a man who had spent 28 years in prison, during Tito's time, which had been liberal at the time, as the worst and greatest Greater Albanian ideologue and separatist.

He pointed out that Demaci was Kurti's mentor and idol.

Vucic stated that one should listen carefully to what people like Demo Berisha, who keeps up to date with the Albanian media, said, and pointed out that from Pristina, with money and other things, they also put Shaip Kamberi under their control and "took" Ragmi Mustafa.

"These are worrisome things. If we were not so much stronger militarily, so many times stronger and more powerful in terms of technology, weapons, and everything else, do you know how many times Kurti would have attacked every part of Serbia? Look at his ideology. He would not attack only central Serbia, but also North Macedonia, Montenegro, and the question is what would happen to Albania as well," President Vucic warned.

He pointed out that there was an attempt by Kurti to raise unrest with, as he added, inappropriate silence, that is, the tacit support of a part of the international community.

Vucic emphasized that attention should be paid to why they were trying to shift the blame to Serbia because Kosovo is their child.

"We must try to protect our people and country, to preserve peace, to accept compromises, to give in when possible, to preserve peace, but always to strengthen our army," he said.

Vucic pointed out that the Croatian army had been stronger than the Serbian one until recently, although it was still very strong, especially in the "wheelers".

"Today, our army is much stronger than it was. We have to protect ourselves because we are the only country in the region that does not belong to NATO. If we want to preserve military neutrality, we have to worry about the strength of the army," the Serbian President said.
