Voting the engagement agreement of our System, Transition and Market Operator (KOSTT) into the European Network of Energy Transition System Operators (ENTSO –E) is a very happy news for Kosovo. This membership is the product of our huge multi-year efforts and will enable a full integration of our country into the regional and European electricity market.

I thank COSTT, as well as the US Embassy and Germany, who stayed very close to Kosovo with political and technical support in the process.
