Hoxha has assured the secretary of state that the reforms under way are in the function of the European Reforms Agency, with the focus of empowering rule of law and economic reforms.
“Fighting corruption and organised crime is a priority of our state activities, we have successes and we expect positive assessment of visa liberalisation. Fighting corruption does not end with that, because a country cannot move forward without its decisive fight against this uglier phenomenon, Hoxha said.
In addition to supporting the visa liberalisation process, Minister Hoxha requested Austria's support in the Kosovo membership process in Interpol.
Edstadler has stressed that they are carefully following the actions of the Republic of Kosovo in this area, and it is important that this issue is constantly fought at all institutions levels, with particular emphasis when security and peace are threatened.
She has also discussed regional co-operation and good neighbourhood, stressing that Kosovo is moving the right way in these processes and offered support for this.
