"Mr President, the situation in Kosovo is still unsatisfactory, not just because of the internal problems, with regard to which Mrs Lunacek provided an excellent report. It is essential that we should finally enter into a dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, and that Bosnia and Herzegovina should also be included. This should take the decision or opinion of the International Court of Justice as its starting point. We are deluding ourselves if we believe it possible to take the retrograde step of dissolving independence; instead, we need to take a step forward so that both countries, Kosovo and Serbia, can join the European Union, perhaps even doing so hand-in-hand. That must be our goal. Turning to Albania, relations between the government and opposition are strained and we must seek a solution. I regret to say that Mrs Pack, who is usually very balanced in her arguments, has become a mouthpiece for the government. I think this is a pity. The point at issue here is not to get involved in internal political disputes, nor is it to make speeches that may suit the Albanian parliament even though they will not be heard there, and I do not intend criticising the government at this point to balance things out. We in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament want to see a solution. We believe both parties, government and opposition, should adhere to what they agreed, namely the setting up of a committee of inquiry, and that they should both seek a solution for the future, in particular, in relation to the question of the elections and the legitimacy of the elections. My hope is that we will finally have a situation in Albania where elections are not disputed, but are accepted by both sides, government and opposition alike. That is what is needed. This cannot be achieved through one-sided party politics, but requires a shared solution from the government and opposition. This is something the European Parliament should support."@en1
