She has said it is time for action, because Kosovo deserves clear support on the road between the EU and NATO.
“Time for Action, the Republic of Kosovo deserves clear support on the road to the EU and NATO in Luxembourg, at the meeting with EU and Western Balkan Foreign Ministers, I reaffirmed that equal treatment and substantial involvement of the Republic of Kosovo in integration processes is not only right, but also necessary for a full, sustainable and secure Europe”.
It has also stressed the demand to lift EU measures on Kosovo.
I stressed three steps requiring urgent action: lifting EU measures on Kosovo, completing membership in the Council of Europe, as well as supporting our application for membership in the European Union. These are steps that directly affect EU own stability and credibility in the region”.
Gervala also cited implementation of the Ohrid Brussels and annex agreement, expressing Kosovo's commitment to implementing them.
Also, I reiterated Kosovo's full commitment to dialogue facilitated by the European Union with Serbia and implementation of the 2023 Brussels and the Ohrid Annex agreement. This process must be completed with mutual recognition and construction of good neighbourly relations on the basis of equality”.
“in light of continued threats and Russian influence in the region, I also underlined the importance of Kosovo's NATO integration as a guarantee of long-term peace and security for the entire continent. There is no lasting peace and stability without justice and accountability, so I sought clear support for the investigation and full punishment for the open act of aggression in Banjska. The Republic of Kosovo remains committed to the European road, daily witnessing its will for reform, strengthening democracy and advancing an agenda contributing to security and common European future. The time for action is now. Support for Kosovo is an investment for peace, security and democracy throughout Europe”, Gervala has said.
