“Dictions will be based on the high representative's report for meeting EU requirements sent to Kosovo. The report is in conclusion and will eventually be handed over to member states”, Stano said at a news conference.
The European Commission imposed punitive measures against Kosovo a year ago due to the escalation of the security situation in the country's north.
The measures set by the EU towards Kosovo included: the temporary suspension of working groups for a Stabilisation and Association Agreement, Kosovo's failure at high-level meetings and the suspension of bilateral visits.
Also suspended was Kosovo's funding programming, which were meant to be delivered through the Western Balkans Investment Framework and IPA 2024 ( Pre-Accession Intrusions).
Unlike Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, on Thursday, said Kosovo has met all EU requirements for lifting the restrictive measures the bloc has imposed on Kosovo.
