Milorad Dodik is a Serb politician who never changed his chauvinist views, especially towards Kosovo which he said he would never recognise, and that is why the 'Self-determination' initiative decided that politicians like him were not welcome in Albania, Boiken Abazi from Kosovo's 'Self-determination' initiative told N1, on Wednesday.

“As you know, Dodik named a student dormitory after Radovan Karadzic, who is convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity committed during the Bosnian war. That is why we decided that politicians like him aren't welcome,” Abazi said.

He added that the Bosnian Serb leader and chairman of Bosnia's tripartite Presidency is on the US blacklist for his political and alleged criminal activities, which is why US citizens are banned from doing business with him.

A group of Albanian citizens gathered Wednesday evening near the Albanian Presidency building to protest against the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Bosnian Milorad Dodik's arrival to Tirana, for the Brdo-Brijuni Process Summit.

The Kosovo opposition official said that Vucic was the Information Minister in Slobodan Milosevic's administration, during the war in Kosovo.
“Maybe many people in the West think that Vucic has changed, but we, Albanians, know very well he hasn't. Several months ago, he called Milosevic a great leader. He never apologised for Serbian Army's crimes in Kosovo,” Abazi said.

He argued that reciprocal measures like the 100 percent taxes to Serbian imports in Kosovo are a small step towards joint measures which Albania and Kosovo should introduce against Serbia.

But he added that it seems like Albania does not want to take these steps and that it is allegedly engaged in Vucic and Kosovo President Hasim Thaci's secret plan to divide Kosovo, which is unacceptable to the EU, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Albanians.
