Kosovo Foreign Affairs Minister Behgjet Pacolli has hosted the meeting of Norway's Foreign Affairs Minister, Anne Ericksen Söreide.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli, thanking Norway's state for co-operation and assistance given to Kosovo's statehood, said this state plays an important role in Kosovo's Euro-Atlantic integration.

Pacolli has also talked about visa liberalisation, where he said Kosovo has met 95 per cent of the required criteria, but this issue has stalled and gone from technical to political.

Kosovo's Minister of Foreign Affairs said that with his Norwegian counterpart, they have also discussed dialogue with Serbia, for which it called for the support of this state.

“We have talked about dialogue with Serbia, this dialogue has no alternative and only equally and sovereignly we can normalise relations between us. We will never stop to the goal of free movement of people and goods”, he said.

While the Norwegian diplomat has offered support for Kosovo's Euro-Atlantic integration said it takes time and greater co-operation and co-ordination among parties in Kosovo.

According to her during the meeting, they discussed dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, for which she said they welcome strengthening and regional co-operation.
