Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, who asked the Finnish presidency to present the visa liberalisation agenda to European leaders, was also present.
We have a request from you today to present the visa liberalisation agenda. I think it's time, what we need is your courage and for your leaders to give you what Kosovars have deserved,”, he said.
EU chief Apostolova said the European Union's priority in Kosovo remains in empowering rule of law, competition, etc., but did not mention visa liberalisation.
Our priorities in Kosovo are also the priorities of the Finnish EU Presidency in many cases. Like Finland during its presidency, the EU in Kosovo has permanently placed rule of law, competition, social inclusion, environment and European values at the top of its priorities. The required reforms in the area of rule of law supported by the EU include a more decisive fight against organised crime and corruption. We assess that Kosovo is making efforts to harmonise its legislation with that of the EU”, she said.
It called the vote in the assembly that requires the removal of automotive counterparts important.
We've been active these days in a poll for free and fair competition, for automotive counterparts. This issue is essentially implementing the SAA. In providing a good business climate, the government, businesses, civil society and each person must be aware of a sustainable development to preserve Kosovo for future generations”, she said.
Furthermore, she added that the EU will continue to support education reform in Kosovo.
“The EU will continue to support reliable and crucial education reform here in Kosovo. Education and social inclusion of young people are essential to addressing future challenges”, she said.
While Finnish Ambassador to Kosovo Styernvall said reforms in rule of law are crucial for Kosovo.
He said that under the leadership of the state that it represents the EU a great priority gives climate change.
“We support the European perspective of Western Balkan countries once the criteria are met. In particular, reforms in the area of rule of law are crucial. The most urgent issue and one of Finland's presidency's key priorities is the EU's global leadership in climate operations. In the 2020s, The EU will have the chance to meet its citizens' expectations by taking the lead in addressing the main challenges facing humanity. It's about time for politics, yes, but for fighting climate change. In Finland, Kosovo, The EU and the world's integration of climate policy in all sectors is our main target”.
