Berlin, 9 December, 2023
During his stay in Berlin, on the sidelines of the Congress of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SDP), the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, had meetings with the General Secretary of the Socialist International, Benedicta Lasi, as well as with the Chairman of the SDP, a deputy of German Bundestag, Lars Klingbeil.
Together with Secretary Lasi, they discussed the importance of deepening cooperation within the political family of the left social democratic spectrum and promoting the common values of democracy, justice and equality for all. Only united can we resist attempts at extreme policy deviations, especially the danger posed by the extreme right, at a time when election processes are approaching in many countries.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Kurti talked with SDP Chairman Klingbeil about the dynamics of the situation in the Western Balkans region as well as the dialogue process. Prime Minister Kurti said that the region belongs to the European Union, and Kosovo is committed to fulfilling its aspiration for membership in the EU, where it has taken the first step by applying for membership. Regarding the dialogue, he emphasized that Kosovo continues to remain constructive and active in the process, towards the normalization of relations with Serbia and mutual recognition.
After the meeting earlier in the day with Chancellor Scholz, and meetings with Secretary Lasi and President Klingbeil, Prime Minister Kurti’s agenda in Berlin will continue with meetings with our exile in Germany.
