Hashim Thaci said that he hopes for coordination with Avdulah Hoti a as the new prime minister.

"I will fulfill my constitutional and legal role, I don't feel like meetings with Serbian leaders . I made it known that I will not go to the talks in Brussels, because Lajcak made it known that he does not recognize Kosovo and I will not talk where it is about the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade," Thaci told T7 TV, reports the portal Kosovo Online.

Hashim Thaci says that former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini made it known that "Kosovo is an independent state" and that she did not address its delegation as "Pristina."

"I personally told Lajcak, you will do a good job only if you recognize Kosovo as an independent and sovereign state, Kosovo must first get visa liberalization, in order to restore trust in European institutions," Thaci said.

According to him, former PM Albin Kurti should submit a report to new Prime Minister Avdulah Hoti about what he discussed during these three months with Lajcak and Borrell.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell recently said on Twitter that the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, mediated by the EU, has no alternative.
