Prishtina, 15 December, 2023
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, started today’s meetings with the American Ambassador, Jeffrey Hovenier, and the Director of Central and Southern European Affairs at the US Department of State, Colleen Hyland, whom he welcomed to Kosovo.
Together they discussed the strong bilateral relations between our countries, cooperation in many fields, and the topics and issues that await us until the end of the year and the coming year. One of them was the issue of the license plate conversion process, from which so far over 4,200 Kosovo Serb citizens have benefited from the Government’s financial relief for registering cars with RKS license plates.
Prime Minister Kurti thanked Ambassador Hovenier and the United States of America for their close cooperation and continuous support throughout the year. This year, in addition to development and progress, was a challenging year especially in terms of security due to Serbia’s aggressive behavior towards Kosovo and its criminal structures, which was followed by tensions, attacks on KFOR members, local institutions and journalists in four municipalities in the north, the kidnapping of three Kosovo policemen inside our territory, and the paramilitary terrorist attack of September 24 in Banjskë of Zveçan, where the police sergeant, now the Hero of Kosovo, Afrim Bunjaku, was killed.
