“The crisis in Macedonia should not escalate. Our legitimate expectancy is a quick and thorough investigation for this suspicious tragedy that shocked the innocent Albanian residents of Kumanova, and all international partners. This must not turn into an unexistent inter-ethnic conflict”, Nishani declared.

We don’t want new borders, but we want these borders to stop being visible. We want that the sovereign choice of the Balkan people to be respected. We want people to become collaborators and not fighters”.
