Bislimi: European Union Must Reform

Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi has today declared on the European Integration Commission that the EU must expand and reform itself.

The enlargement package released in November 2023 returns hope that EU enlargement is back in the spotlight after a decade of silence and stagnation.

The European Union must be expanded and reformed, until Russia is trying to expand through wars, the European Union must expand through dialogue and integration”, Bislimi said.

In this report before the Commission, Bislimi has also been asked about measures set by the EU towards Kosovo.

“As far as measures are concerned, there has been a belief that the government must do more for the de-pass of the situation in the north on May 29th of last year.

We are told in our letter that the measures are temporary, returnable.

After that we had a meeting in Bratislava, where we discussed with Mr. Lajcak what the measures mean and built a four-point document.

Likely, there is uncertainty within member states about what is the mechanization of the measures, but there is also pressure and frustration within the EU about how Kosovo has been punished with measures, meanwhile, Serbia has no moves even after the terrorist aggression it made in Banjska.

EU measures are limited only to the summit with high representative of the Republic of Kosovo, but you are witnessing that they have continued.

The assessment and adoption of Kosovo's new applications in the Western Balkans Framework for Investment has been banned, meaning Kosovo has not stopped any project, but cannot capture”, Bislimi said. /Periscope
