Ambassador Reeker stressed that US reports with Kosovo are based on democratic values and common goals.
He in this case reaffirmed President Joe Biden's interest in supporting Kosovo towards developing and implementing needed reforms. Likewise, Ambassador Reeker stressed the US commitment to supporting Western Balkan states towards membership in the European Union.
President Osmani underlined that partnership with US is vital for realising Kosovo institutions' priorities in securing anti- vaccine COVID-19 for Kosovo citizens, as well as implementation of internal reforms that would increase employment and combat corruption effectively.
As for dialogue with Serbia, Ambassador Reeker stressed that the US encourages parties to engage constructively towards achieving the legally binding agreement, which would result in mutual recognition of Kosovo-Serbia.
President Osmani highlighted the importance of improving the quality of the dialogue process based on the invisibility of Kosovo's territory and the unitary character of the state and contributing to peace and prosperity in the region.
She stressed that for Kosovo, lighting the fate of the found ones remains a priority that institutions are aiming to push forward and therefore called for US support.
