The Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, gave an interview to Radio France Internationale (RFI).
In this interview, Prime Minister Kurti described the Republic of Kosovo as a “double success story”: first, due to the intervention and humanitarian aid provided by international actors 27 years ago, which led to our liberation; and second, because democracy and development are advancing hand in hand.
Among other things, Prime Minister Kurti stated: “In the Western Balkans, we rank either first or second in terms of combating organized crime and corruption, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring institutional transparency—all while maintaining consistent economic growth of over 4% of our Gross Domestic Product.”
Also, during the interview, Prime Minister Kurti spoke about obtaining candidate country status and opening negotiations for EU membership, as well as NATO membership, as well as relations with Serbia
