Albulena Haxhiu stated that Kosovo’s path toward the European Union is a strategic state interest and a democratic choice of its citizens.

She made the remarks during a meeting in Prishtina with European Council President António Costa, where they discussed Kosovo’s EU integration process, the EU Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, and regional stability.

Moreover, he reaffirmed the European Union’s commitment to the Western Balkans, stating that enlargement remains a real possibility and that now is the time to deliver results.
