Prishtina, 22 November 2023
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, received in a meeting Christoph Luettmann and Simone Ceresa from the organization CSSP – Berlin Center for Integrative Mediation.
The topic of the discussion was the activities developed within the internal dialogue and the steps taken during these 32 months of government, to build trust between our citizens from the Serbian community and the Government.
The process of resuming the verification of diplomas and the creation of the legal basis for the verification of high school diplomas was considered successful. Also, the meetings held by the Prime Minister with the Serbian civil society in Kosovo and his visits to localities inhabited mainly by the Serbian community have been positive.
The Government of the Republic of Kosovo, through the Ministry of Communities and Returns, has allocated in September of this year a fund of 3 million euros for NGOs, small businesses, and farmers, with some of whom Prime Minister Kurti also met during the signing of contracts for grants.
During the conversation, the appointments of Serbs to high positions in institutions were also mentioned, such as the case of Srdjan Sentic, elected as Deputy Ombudsman and the election of a member from the Serbian community, Dragisa Krstovic, to the board of Trepca.
Prime Minister Kurti emphasized that the budget for 2024 for the Ministry of Communities and Return has increased by 51%. He was optimistic about the development and building of trust between the citizens from the Serbian community and the Government, because the Government is there for them, and fully prepared to continue with the activities of the internal dialogue and to listen to the requests and proposals of all citizens without distinction.
