Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, Enver Hoxhaj, reported today to the Kosovo Assembly Committee for Foreign Affairs. He said Kosovo will be applying to become part of the Council of Europe.
According to him, there are countries which do not recognize Kosovo but they will vote Kosovo in this case.
He further added that if Kosovo applies now to become part of this organization, its acceptance is expected to happen by the end of 2019 or beginning of 2020.
“There is not a greater priority than Kosovo’s membership at this international organization. Kosovo has been accepted at 66 international organizations. In this case we have worked to be accepted at this Council. We are not a member state there, however participation at activities of this Council is a privilege. After the European Union, this is the most important organisation. We as government, consider that we should send the request for membership. This process of membership takes up to two years,” Hoxhaj said.
