Serbia responded with military maneuvers. I have asked that the attacks on Zubin Potok be condemned, after the Serbian threats. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a situation, when Serbia gets EU funding, yet instead of democratizing it gets militarized by Russia and China,\u201d \u2013 said Kurti.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, the EC president expressed her concern regarding the tensions in northern Kosovo, while saying that it is of utmost importance for Kosovo, to keep walking on its European path, by starting to normalize its relations with Serbia through the dialogue process and more agreements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is of great importance that we continue on our European path. To achieve a normalization of rapports with Serbia. I am concerned about the crisis in the north; the situation needs to de-escalate by returning to the dialogue that is mediated by the EU, as it is the only platform able to resolve this situation,\u201d \u2013 said Von der Leyen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/28\/live-ursual-von-der-leyen-and-pm-rama-holding-joint-press-conference\/\">3 hot topics covered in Von der Leyen\u2019s press conference with PM Rama<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2021\/09\/29\/return-of-dialogue-after-reciprocity-dispute-as-chief-negotiators-meet-in-brussels\/\">Return of dialogue amid reciprocity dispute as Chief Negotiators head to Brussels<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/balkan-talks\/2021\/09\/28\/enver-hoxhaj-backed-by-russia-serbia-is-threatening-the-entire-region\/\">Enver Hoxhaj: Backed by Russia, Serbia is threatening the entire region<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a joint press conference with the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, Kosovo\u2019s PM, Albin Kurti stated that the only road for Kosovo, is the one leading to the European Union.
