"Political leaders in the region should give an example in promoting mutual trust, nourishing good neighbourly relations and cooperation, the European Union's principles and values," the European Commission (EC) said asked about Kosovo's politician Ramush Haradinaj's statement about the possibility of the unification with Albania.
Haradinaj, the leader of the Alliance for Kosovo (ABK) and a candidate for Kosovo’s president, said on Monday the EU treatment of Kosovo pushed it into amalgamation with neighbouring Albania and that a referendum on the issue was not excluded.
He said that while presenting his party’s programme ahead of Kosovo’s early elections due on February 14.
The EC said the rules should be respected during the election campaigns.
