A few days ago, Albanian Prime Minister Eddie Rama issued a statement announcing that his country will launch to establish a "Greater Albania" plan, which will work to achieve the merger of Albania and Kosovo; in response to this matter, Russia The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zakharova issued a warning to the Albanian side on Monday, stating that “Moscow believes that the merger of Albania and Kosovo must not be accepted. Stable situation in the region".
At the same time, Zakharova appealed to Western countries that support the "Independence of Kosovo", demanding that appropriate actions be taken to respond to Albanian provocations; on the other hand, Russian Foreign Minister , who was visiting Serbia at the same time Lavrov, in the presence of Serbian President Vucic, also responded to the tense situation in Kosovo, saying that Russia will continue to support Serbia and promised the Serbian army will receive assistance from Russia's latest weapons.
It is understood that the Kosovo issue is and the Balkan Peninsula has a long history. It has almost now become a "powder keg". The cause and development process of the Kosovo issue are complicated and the resolution process is very slow; in 1999, the UN Security Council Resolution 1244, which was passed unanimously, stipulates that the sovereignty of the Kosovo region belongs to the Yugoslav Federation, requires all UN member states to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Yugoslav Federation, and reaffirms that the Kosovo region should be granted a "high degree of autonomy."
After the Yugoslav League and Serbia and Montenegro, which claimed sovereignty over the Kosovo region, disintegrated,Serbia continues to claim sovereignty over the Kosovo region and announces its support for the settlement of the Kosovo issue in accordance with Security Council Resolution 1244; however, with the support of the United States, the European Union and other Western countries, the Kosovo region unilaterally declared "independence" in 2008 and "established diplomatic relations with many Western countries." ", the Serbian central government refused to recognize the so-called "independence" of the Kosovo authorities and emphasized that the region is an autonomous administrative unit of the country. Countries such as China and Russia support Serbia’s sovereignty over the Kosovo region and do not recognize the so-called "independence" of the Kosovo region. "status.
As for the reason why Albania proposed to merge the Kosovo region to promote the "Greater Albania" plan, it is nothing more than that the Albanian population in the region accounted for nearly half, and it has the capital to support the "separation" of the local Albanian from the Serbs and other ethnic minorities; However, it should be noted that the so-called "Greater Albania" plan of Albania is not only intended to annex Serbian territory, but also a serious provocation to the authority of the United Nations and the United Nations Security Council, as well as a challenge to international rules and order.
On the one hand, Security Council Resolution 1244 has clearly stipulated that the sovereignty of the Kosovo region belongs to the Yugoslav Federation. Even if the Yugoslav Federation no longer exists today, Serbia, as the former main body, can inherit its “legacy” and will, just like After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia, as the dominant country, inherited most of its territory and the status of a permanent member of the Security Council; on the other hand, Serbia did not disagree with the Security Council Resolution 1244, but clearly pointed out that compliance with the resolution is a necessary way to resolve the Kosovo issue And important guarantee.
In addition, considering that in mid-to-late September, with the support of the United States and the West, the Kosovo authorities once again sought independence and caused tensions. It is very likely that it is the United States and Western countries that gave Albania the courage to challenge the authority of the Security Council. During the period, Western countries also specially sent officials to meet with Vucic in an attempt to persuade Serbia to accept the "independence" of Kosovo. However, the Western conspiracy did not succeed after both soft and hard actions, which forced Serbia to make a tough move on Kosovo to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. attitude.
So it’s not hard to imagine the so-called "Greater Albania" plan in Albania,It is very likely that the Western countries will "dismember" another set of plans for Serbia. This will not only continue to stir up the Kosovo issue and keep Serbia in chaos, but it will also exacerbate the contradiction between Serbia and Albania. The United States and NATO (Albania is a NATO country) intervened in the regional situation and even used force to overthrow the Vucic regime, which is close to China and Russia, creating a breakthrough.
In addition, Turkey also has the influence and motivation to intervene in the Kosovo issue, because the majority of the Albanian population in Kosovo believes in Islam, and as a powerful country in the Islamic world of Turkey, it has the ambition to integrate the Islamic world, so Albania's support is also possible; More importantly, Turkey’s intervention in the Kosovo issue and the United States and the West have the same goal of “dismembering” Serbia, and the possibility that Turkey, Afghanistan, and NATO will serve as fulcrums for each other also exists.
Of course, no matter who gave Albania the courage to openly challenge the authority of the Security Council with the intention of annexing Serbian territory, I think the international community, especially China and Russia, will never sit idly by and maintain international stability on the one hand. This is the responsibility of the world’s major powers. On the other hand, if the Security Council’s Resolution 1244 is reduced to a dead letter, then the authority of the United Nations will be completely lost, and it will only cause more trouble to the world.
