Prishtina, 10 March 2010
The following are the Prime Minister’s remarks, during the signing ceremony for the agreements between the Government of Kosovo and the World Bank.
Dear Mr. Nayak,
Dear Ministers,
It is a particular pleasure for me that we have signed these project financing agreements today with the World Bank. I want to thank the World Bank, through Mr. Nayak and his staff, for the continuous support they have given to Kosovo.
These two agreements are the first of this nature with the World Bank, coming nine months after the successful membership of our state into this institution.
Their implementation will have a direct impact on the further consolidation of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo and in the services they provide. It will also help create the necessary conditions for improving the work and living environment in Kosovo, through providing efficient services.
Through this financing, funds will be channeled to important fields for the continuous improvement of public financing, budget management in several ministries and other budget organizations and the public sector in general.
The signing of these agreements is another testimony that the State of Kosovo is maturing and achieving sustainability in its path of development.
I have full trust that Kosovo will have the continuous support of the World Bank and other international financial institutions on this journey.
Thank you!
