Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, attended the German Cooperation Day organized by the German Embassy in Kosovo.
Before those present, Prime Minister Haradinaj stressed that bilateral relations between Kosovo and Germany are strategic and specific.

Further on, the Prime Minister emphasized that Germany is the second largest donor in Kosovo, with an important role in all aspects of the development agenda, be it in sustainable economic development, in public administration and democracy, or in the energy sector.
Prime Minister Haradinaj said that Kosovars living in Germany are an added value of relations between Kosovo and Germany. “With this intensity of cooperation, not only will there be no more refugees from Kosovo in Germany, but many of them who today live in Germany may return for investment in Kosovo”, said the Prime Minister.
