On the sidelines of the Berlin Process Summit, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, met with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, Antonio Tajani.
Prime Minister Kurti thanked Minister Tajani and the Italian state for their continuous support and cooperation. “We see Italy at the core of the EU and NATO and as one of the main allies of the Western Balkans”, said the Prime Minister at the beginning of the meeting.
They talked about bilateral relations and opportunities for increasing economic and commercial cooperation, including the organization of a business forum for more interaction between the companies of both countries, with the aim of increasing and deepening our relations and exchanges.
During the meeting, the prime minister underlined Kosovo’s commitment to membership in the European Union and the importance of Kosovo receiving the status of a candidate country, now that almost two years have passed since the application for membership. At the same time, he expressed his gratitude to Minister Tajani for Italy’s continuous support in this journey.
Prime Minister Kurti also emphasized the need to remove the measures of the European Union towards Kosovo, for which the High Representative of the EU’s Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, has concluded that the conditions have been met and the measures should be removed.
