As a new government, we are building a normal democratic state and together we are doing everything possible to focus on state rights, the fight against corruption, educational reform and the health system. In this sense, your help, especially the help of the Republic of Bulgaria, is extremely important. I express my gratitude to Bulgaria and to all of you who are helping us on our way to the European Union”, she said.
Also, Deputy Prime Minister Redžepi spoke about the relations between the Republic of Kosovo and Serbia. She emphasized that we are obliged as a state to respect the Brussels agreement, so also the license plates as part of the Brussels agreement.
In Kosovo we all live together – Albanians and non-Albanians. Serbs, Bosniaks, Turks, Gorans and Roma and all other peoples, said Deputy Prime Minister Redžepi.
