On the Day of Europe, Kurti sends international message to internationals: We must be part of the European family and our journey to be assessed on meritocracy basis

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, on Europe Day, has stressed that Kosovo should be part of the European family, and travel will be assessed on meritocracy basis.

In a Facebook post, Kurti has said that Kosovo has consistently witnessed readiness to contribute to democracy.

Kosovo's “Republic not only joins calls and the mission to protect democracy across Europe but also consistently testifies to the will of willingness to contribute in this direction, as in bringing the country's foreign policy closer to that of the European Union, but also to the support of all measures imposed on unjustified Russian aggression towards Ukraine”, Kurti wrote.

But to contribute and do more, we must be part of the European family and our journey is assessed on meritocracy basis. As enlargement has returned to the attention of the EU agenda after many years, our country has applied for membership in the European Union. The advancement of our country on the road to the EU would be a positive signal to the country and to democratic values”, he stressed.
