Honoured Ministers,
Government’s Cabinet,
Allow me, once again to use the opportunity to congratulate the Republic of Albania, Prime Minister, Rama, and all political and social spectrum of Albania for their achievements in relation to gaining Candidate status for membership in European Union.
Undoubtedly this is a very good news, the best possible news for Albania, Kosovo and all Albanians.
I would like to congratulate all citizens of Albania, all Albanians on this historic success, and today every Albanian feel proud with this achievement.
In addition, allow me to reiterate that Kosovo, as a new state of great opportunities, recognized by 106 countries, is committed to work towards meeting the Euro-Atlantic standards to join NATO and the European Union as soon as possible.
EU and NATO membership is our aspiration, goal, vision, as well as our right.
I want to believe that by receiving candidate status for EU membership by Albania, it will be an encouragement and impetus for new Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Republic of Kosovo.
Also, allow me to congratulate and commend all the institutions dealing with management of post electoral process, the CEC and all other mechanisms, on their performance in record time, in order to end this stage of the electoral process. Parliamentary Elections, held recently, are recognized as best, fair, free, democratic and most transparent since post war period.
The highest western standard is met. Currently we are expecting the certification of election results and the Constitutional Court feedback on the questions raised by the President of Kosovo, Mrs. Jahjaga, then the winning party and the coalition will begin to specifically work on the establishment of the new Government of the Republic of Kosovo.
