Varhely after meeting with Osman: Agreement with Serbia to apply unconditionally

He said that both sides should unconditionally implement agreed agreements.

Progress has been made in the past year. Now it's essential that both sides implement all obligations without delay, because we have to exploit the moment. Let's move forward with the implementation of the agreement as soon as possible and apply unconditionally”, he said, citing the European Council's conclusions as well.

“We are on our part ready to provide the investment programme, which will benefit all through a successful” dialogue.

He said there was a good and fruitful discussion at the meeting and that they have touched on all elements of progress that Kosovo has achieved in the past.

A clear message that always comes from Kosovo is that it is very committed to EU integration. You've shown this not only in words, joining us all in Russian aggression against Ukraine. Consider the sanctions and alignment. This is valued”.

Taking into account geopolitical challenges, Varhely said there are also good <x0) news”.

From 2024 Kosovo's citizens will move freely. We've discussed reform issues as well. That is the purpose of this visit”, he said, adding that Kosovo should improve the implementation of the legal framework as well.

Meanwhile, he had some criticism in court.

“In terms of fighting corruption, a strong will is needed to address high-level corruption cases and some appropriate decisions must be drawn from courts, even to make seizures. Of course, we have the commitment of rule of law. We have the Government pledge, we expect the policies designed to be implemented. Kosovo is in early stages, but has also undertaken several successful operations”.

The European commissioner also cited the media issue.

“pression must be stopped against media”.

On the other hand, President Osmani said that rule of law is not only a priority on paper for Kosovo institutions, but said it is a priority for all the people of Kosovo, and that “remains at the helm of my commitment”.

It announced that an additional 6.5m euros have been provided in support for Kosovo's law-rule efforts.

We will continue our close co-operation and projects that will further draw Kosovo right where we have the country, so to the EU”.
