Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has demanded that the European Union Council address the European Commission to receive an assessment regarding Kosovo’s application for EU membership, delivered in December 2022.
Kurti has filed this request during the meeting with representatives of the European Union’s Committee for Affairs in the Parliament of Ireland, where the journey of Kosovo towards European integration has been discussed.
In his announcement, Kurti has stressed that launching the application review is essential for the process of gaining candidate status and opening membership negotiations not to drag on further.
Since the official journey of the Republic of Kosovo towards the EU, through receiving candidate status and opening membership negotiations, is not yet delayed, it is essential that the Council seek the opinion of the Commission on application submitted in December 2022. For us, the process is not less important than reaching a goal, because with the implementation of reforms except that we move forward on the European road, we benefit citizens and strengthen as a state. From the refugee shelter and participation within KFOR, we are grateful for Ireland’s continued support and contribution to our citizens and Republic.
