"Greater Albania": Edi Rama Suggests Future "Single President" With Kosovo

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama says his country and neighboring Kosovo could one day have a single president, although he added that it was not likely to happen in the near future.

Rama made his comments on February 18 while addressing Kosovo's parliament to celebrate the young country's 10th anniversary since its declaration of independence from Serbia, a move Belgrade has never recognized.

Rama said having a single president would be a "symbol of national unity" between Albania and Kosovo, both of which have ethnic-Albanian majorities.

He noted that Tirana and Pristina already share some diplomatic missions around the world, and said, "Why not a single president, as a symbol of national unity?"

He acknowledged, though, that this was not likely to happen anytime soon, but added that "history tells us that it is not impossible for a dream to come true."
