German President Steinmeier sends message to Kosovo President Shiroka-Pula

Kosovo President Justina Shiroka-Pula has received a congratulatory letter from German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on the occasion of taking office.

In his letter, President Steinmeier conveyed his best wishes to Shiroka-Pula on behalf of himself and the German people. He also highlighted the importance of ensuring the full functioning of Kosovo’s institutions.

“The fact that all constitutional institutions are once again fully functional and able to operate is a great relief for Germany as well, as a long-standing friend and supporter of Kosovo. The months of political deadlock have shown how valuable functioning institutions are and how much they depend on political forces being willing to take responsibility beyond party lines,” Steinmeier wrote.

The German president stressed that Kosovo’s future lies in Europe.

“Now is the time to look ahead, advance the necessary reforms with renewed momentum and move Kosovo’s Euro-Atlantic integration forward. In this process, respect for international obligations, safeguarding the independence of the judiciary and dialogue on the normalisation of relations with Serbia are of great importance,” he said.

At the end of his letter, Steinmeier reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to standing alongside Kosovo as a reliable partner and firmly supporting its European path.

He also expressed his readiness to work with President Shiroka-Pula, wishing her success and wisdom in carrying out her duties.
