  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 15 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 16 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 16 hours ago

“Albin [Kurti] enjoys the support of many citizens and this support is undisputable, therefore citizens are rightfully concerned about deliberate tendencies to remove him from the list. In a captured state, this can happen! Those are the last attempts of those who captured the state and those who served the captured state.”

“The UN mandate for our KFOR peacekeeping mission - which derives from the UN Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999 - remains unchanged. We continue to support a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all communities in Kosovo, for the benefit of all people in Kosovo.”

“The dissatisfaction accumulated since March 2020, when the old political elite toppled the Kurti Government, is the key reason behind the increased support [for Albin Kurti’s Vetëvendosje party]. Kurti has previously shown solid cooperation with the EU while attempting to create a process based on principles and values. It is, however, unknown how he will be approaching what happened so far in the process – especially during the Hoti Government.”

“We need to sit and talk with US President Biden’s team, to see what they think about those issues which were reached as pledges, not as an agreement. There are questions over issues such as the Ujmani lake and other political issues about which we need to see what the Biden administration’s position is. I am not prejudging because I am not one of those who think that new administration will just throw this agreement in the bin.”

“The growth of Vetevendosje is evident and in the near future can also reflect on the central level. This is a good signal for Vetevendosje, while the LDK [Democratic League of Kosovo] and PDK [Democratic Party of Kosovo], should reflect on it as soon as possible – especially the LDK, which will probably need internal reform of all its branches.”

“To tell you the truth I did not expect such an attack on the KLA. This phrase 'joint criminal enterprise' is an historical and political subversion of the KLA. I believe that this will be harmful for state-building in Kosovo, for justice in Kosovo, and for the Kosovo Liberation Army and its values.”

“The president of the country is not in his position, he resigned, which means that we must take constitutional measures and actions. There are two ways, parties must discuss either to agree on a new president or to agree on an early election date. It happened a week ago. We have not yet started internal consultations with the parties to see what the mood is. We have public statements from various parties on this issue, but I believe that soon in a few days, a few weeks, we will sit down with all the parties and speak as civilized people, as responsible parties in finding solutions for the people.”

“[The indictment of the former Kosovo Liberation Army political leader Hashim Thaci]Should be an incentive not only for Kosovo, but also for Serbia, to continue prosecuting those responsible for war crimes. Both sides must do whatever it takes to charge those who killed, looted, set fire to houses and expelled civilians. It cannot be the responsibility of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers of Kosovo alone, nor can the indictment of Hashim Thaci alone lead to justice.”

“So far two officials have been suspended and one has been arrested. The money was withdrawn from the Ministry of Infrastructure and transferred to an economic operator on October 9. We have a request from the Prosecution not to provide more information as to the identity of the economic operator that benefited, as we may damage the investigation.”

“Either the dialogue will lead to an agreement with reciprocal recognition, or there will be nothing. During visits to the European capitals, I stated our principles and I am entering this process with them. In a few months, we will reach that point and conclude the process. The goal is spring, i.e. the first months of next year, and we will not continue in the second part of the year.”

The achievement in the White House is historic. The role of the United States in the political sphere is irreplaceable, but the United States and the EU must be coordinated.”

“I can conclude that our conversation was correct, constructive, open and friendly, and it referred to finding opportunities for reaching a final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, which would mean mutual recognition and the possibility for Kosovo to join the UN. Kosovo has met all the criteria and I believe the time has come for the European Union to put the possibility of mutual recognition talks on the table, because that should be the first point of the agreement. I see EU-US coordination. That is a good and encouraging message to be united in relation to Serbia, which would enable faster economic development.”

“When it comes to visa liberalization, there is no meeting where we have not discussed this issue. I am trying to persuade EU member states to offer visa liberalization for Kosovo. Our assessment is that you have met all the conditions, but this assessment is not enough, we have to convince the EU member states. We have committed to helping change the reality in this region, such as the economy for businesses and citizens. I think that the Economic and Investment Plan could be a change of game for the region within three, four or five years.”

“Ujmani is a lake that has 9.2 kilometers in the territory of Kosovo, and has 2.7 in the territory of Serbia. There is also a hydropower plant inside Kosovo. We are open with the US Department of Energy for the future of Ujman, but not for a tripartite agreement where Serbia is also a party.”

“Serbia has made efforts to reopen certain chapters of the comprehensive agreement on which we have reached an agreement in principle. All this confirms that concern, that concern that I expressed – that Serbia intends to put on the table issues that have only one goal – for the process to fall into something that we will not accept at all.”

In particular, the Commission expects the government to maintain its commitment to implementing the legislative package as part of public administration reform and to take the necessary steps to increase the accountability of independent agencies to increase transparency, especially regarding the use of budget funds and the public procurement procedure”

“I repeat, I am convinced that no matter where the dialogue takes place in this or that city, with the United States of America absent I am skeptical that mutual recognition can take place or I know for sure that it cannot, so it is vital for the United States should be at the table and in the dialogue process. It is important to have this dialogue because only with good meetings and good neighborliness can Kosovo move towards the EU. At the same time, we must maintain our state identity.”

These are talks at the political level, because we are in the final phase of concluding the final agreement, and that requires the will of both sides and commitment.”

“It is unfortunate for the visa liberalization process for Kosovo. I have lobbied a lot for this issue. There is much hesitation as to whether the criteria have been met in many reputable issues such as organized crime in Kosovo. It is not a technical issue, but there is no clear reason why the visa regime is still not being lifted. I hope that with the taking of the Presidency by Germany, visas will be given to Kosovars. It is discrimination and we cannot promise what we cannot do. This frustration is also felt by many of my colleagues in Parliament, particularly in Berlin, but also in many other capitals. I am quite optimistic that the German presidency will accept this situation”
