Federica Mogherini, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission, met with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Kosovo Behgjet Pacolli in Brussels today. They discussed the EU integration agenda of Kosovo, visa liberalisation and the EU facilitated Dialogue.
The High Representative underlined that with the new government in office, Kosovo is well placed to move forward on fulfilling the only two remaining conditions for visa liberalisation, notably to ratify the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro and to sustain the track record on the fight against organised crime and corruption. Federica Mogherini also reaffirmed her strong commitment to the European Union perspective of the entire Western Balkans region, so that by the end of her mandate the progress achieved will be irreversible for all six partners.
