Pacolli, during his meeting with Commissioner Hahn, has also discussed border demarcation issues with Montenegro, praising that if this issue is not a problem between these two countries, then no problems should be created on the part of the EU. In this regard, he has confirmed the excellent relations that have existed and exist between Kosovo and Montenegro, the communiques from the MPJ reveal.
For his part, Commissioner Hahn has underlined that the possibilities for how further will be done in this process, taking into account the positions of member states as well. It also reaffirmed the continuation of further support and has ordered that the country's institutions focus on implementing the European agenda and the required reforms in this process.
The process of regional co-operation/goodness and regional processes in the area of European integration, such as that of the 6 Western Balkan countries/The Berlin Process, including Trieste's statement, has been praised as of particular importance, while non-recognition by the five EU nations is considered to still remain a challenge.
