Speaking of the values and principles of the Council of Europe and its institutions, Baerbox said the organisation attracts even the newest democracy in Europe to Kosovo.
This is the power that lies in the instruments of the Council of Europe now our Council of Europe. And which, by the way, should not forget this when we talk about values and rights right now is a force that radiates in other countries and makes institutions like the Council of Europe so attractive. Like Kosovo, Europe's newest democracy, which belongs to our Council of Europe”.
The chief of German diplomacy called for the necessary support for Kosovo's membership in the KiE, and urged the carriers of institutions in Kosovo to commit to Kosovo joining as soon as possible.
Therefore, we call on all those involved and responsible in Kosovo to do everything possible to ensure that we have the necessary majority for achieving membership soon to”, she said in Bundestag, which was followed by applause.
Foreign Affairs Minister Donika Grovalla said they have sent a letter to the Eurppa Council confirming the pledge that they are preparing drafts for the establishment of “a mechanism for self-recognition, co-ordination and co-operation of Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo”.
This draft will be sent to the Constitutional Court by the end of May.
