Prime Minister Kurti thanked the state of Switzerland for its continuous support, the role it has played especially during the last three decades, and for the decision to extend the mandate of Swisscoy, the contingent of Swiss troops in Kosovo within KFOR, until the year 2026.
Regarding our exile in Switzerland, he emphasized the interest and commitment of the government for its involvement and contribution as much as possible in the economic development of the country.
