Full ZKMA announcement:

The prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has been hosted by National Security Adviser of the United States, Jake Sullivan.

Prime Minister Kurti thanked Mr. Sullivan for our country's contribution and support, and for lasting peace, long-term stability and regional security.

Speaking about the security aspect, Prime Minister Kurti said that the Republic of Kosovo is prepared to deepen the partnership based on common values with the US and is committed on its path to integration into the European Union and on the fastest involvement in the Partnership for Peace Programme, as a first step towards NATO membership.

The prime minister stressed institutional stability, rule of law and the fight against crime and corruption in our country. High confidence in Government has also been reflected in the record annual improvement of 17 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index. Kosovo also ranked first in the World Justice Law Rule Index and received the best assessment of the level of organised crime and the sustainability of this phenomenon in the Global Organised Crime Index, compared to other Western Balkan countries.

Stressing that the government of Kosovo is determined that constitutionality, territorial integrity, sovereignty and legitimacy will remain uncensed, Prime Minister Kurti reaffirmed that dialogue between the Republic of Kosovo and Serbia should be the principled dialogue respecting the equality of the parties in the talks, and that at the centre of the agreement has mutual recognition.

Invasion and aggression in Ukraine and the destabilizing efforts of Russia and its extensions in the region were discussed during the meeting.

Talks were made about listing the Republic of Kosovo with the United States and the democratic world in condemning Russian invasion and military aggression in Ukraine and imposing sanctions on the Russian Federation.

1. Sullivan expressed gratitude for the assistance offered by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo for Afghan refugees and for their temporary housing in Kosovo.
