Hashim Thaci (Beta/Armenija Zajmi Besevic)
Kosovo President Hashim Thaci said on July 20 that it was important for him that an internal dialogue be secured for Pristina-Belgrade talks to continue.
During a meeting with the Democratic Party of Albania leader, Lulzim Basha, the president described the consensus as "vital."
"We have discussed developments in Kosovo and Albania today, along with opportunities to improve cooperation. Kosovo's goal is to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union as soon as possible. It is important to reach the broadest possible consensus to support European perspective. We have also discussed talks between Kosovo and Serbia. An institutional consensus in Kosovo is key, and it is vital that we are well-coordinated between Washington and Brussels," Thaci said after the meeting with the Albanian opposition leader.
Basha supported the Kosovo president's "consistent views." "I have supported the head of state's consistent views by supporting the dialogue and cohesion of political forces in Kosovo. I have underlined confidence and hope that full coordination between the United States and the EU was, and still is, a precondition for success," Basha said.
