Ukraine is still uncertain on the issue of Kosovo’s independence, even after the extensive support that has been shown in the last couple months’ – declared the Ukrainian ambassador to Albania, Volodymyr Shkurov, in an interview with Euronews Albania.
“We are aware of the support shown by Kosovo’s officials. Apart from that, we are also getting many proposals and questions from citizens of Kosovo, about how they could go to Ukraine and give their contribution to Ukraine’s defense. We are forwarding all these calls and proposals to our ministry. Ukraine is still in that phase when we’re studying the issue of Kosovo’s recognition,” – said the ambassador.
In addition, he underlined that the issue of Kosovo’s recognition will be examined at a later stage.
“For the moment, this issue isn’t on our agenda because before we can make an informed decision we need to consult with researchers and scientists so that in the end, it’ll be easier for decision-makers to draw a definite conclusion,” – he said.
When asked about Albania’s support of Ukraine, the Ukrainian ambassador stated that he has been very pleased with the hospitality of Albanian citizens.
“When we embarked on our journey to Albania, we had our general reservations because we knew very little of this country. But for me, this was a great realization because it’s not just me, but the entire Embassy staff feel very comfortable here and have formed friendly relations with people here,” – he said.
