The normalisation of relations between Kosovo and Serbia is important for these two countries, but also for your membership in the European Union, which Kosovo aims to join”, Guerot claims. According to him, these Brussels-Orher agreements provide considerable support to Kosovo and its socio-economic development.

The French ambassador further comments on the draft proposed by the European Union for Association of Serb-run municipalities in Kosovo, which he says France fully supports.

“France fully supports the proposed laws for EU-made Association. This proposal is in line with the Kosovo legal framework and guarantees functional institutions. Kosovo has made commitments to establishing this association since 2013, and it is the last time we move forward on this very good project and with the support of Kosovo partners”.

He emphasises that France wants the same thing as Kosovo -- a country that functions and develops for the good of all its citizens. And we want it now”.

In the end, Guerot also speaks of the possibility of removing sanctions against Kosovo from the EU, saying that “not all conditions have been met”.

“It is important that soon the necessary efforts take place, I am in particular thinking of organising new local elections in northern Kosovo, so that in the next EU report it will be seen the conditions for lifting measures”, the ambassador points out.

There is a window of opportunity to use before the renovation of European institutions. This would enable the future team to focus on other important issues for Kosovo. The current dynamic of enlargement is an opportunity to use”.

According to him, Kosovo has its place within the EU and now is the time to make the necessary efforts to confirm it
