Kurt begins meetings in Brussels

Two deputy prime ministers, Donika Grovalla-Schwartz, are in the delegation with the prime minister, and for European Affairs and Dialog, Besnik Bislimi.

He has arrived in Brussels on Tuesday, and there has been an informal meeting with the European Union's special representative for dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.

Kurti will first have a meeting with Belgium's Prime Minister Aleksandar De Croo, to continue with meetings at the European Commission.

On April 28th, Kurti will primarily have meetings with less political field commissionors, but covering sectors for which the European Commission believes they are relevant to Kosovo as well.

Kosovo's delegation is expected to meet with European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Janusz Wojciechhowski, the Justice Didier Reynders, Energy Commissioner Kadri Simons for Economics and Finance Paolo Gentiloni and European Commission for Economics Deputy Executive Chairman Valdis Dombrovskis on Wednesday.

During the day, Kurt is also expected to meet European Parliament President David Sasoll.

On Thursday, meanwhile, he will have meetings with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyeen and with High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Josep Borrell.

Kurti's meeting with European Council President Charles Michel has been virtually conducting it Tuesday, as he has had to go on a trip abroad with urgency.

Kurti will have a meeting during her visit to Brussels, even with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

EU sources also claim that this visit has a busy agenda and meetings to discuss many topics, not just those of political character.

Kosovo's co-operation with the European Commission in the fields of agriculture, rural development, energy, economy and finance is assessed as opportunities to promote investment and improve the lives of citizens.

Kosovo, according to European Commission progress reports, in many of these areas there are major impasses, and the EU expects the Government to have more attention to marking progress.

The biggest attention, however, is expected to be on topics such as aid in the vaccine process, where Kosovo has serious problems providing vaccines so far and the EU plans to help, even in preparations for continuing dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.

On Wednesday evening Kurti will have another dinner with EU Special Representative for Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak.

Earlier this week, senior EU officials have talked to Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq and even High Representative Josep Borrell has mentioned the 11 May date as the scheduled day for the Kurti-Vuciq meeting.

The Kosovo government has denied agreeing to such a date.

In the EU, meanwhile, they have clarified that it is only a possible “> and that “is working to set a date for their” meeting.
