We welcome today's integration of judges, prosecutors and administrative staff within the Kosovo judiciary. With the decree today, Kosovo is advancing into the integration of minority communities and is increasing access to justice for all its citizens. Integration in the judiciary meets the agreement reached in February 2015 in the EU-launched Dialogue on Normalisation with Serbia, and marks an important step forward in Kosovo's efforts to build fully functional institutions of rule of Law.
