Kosovo’s President Hashim Thaci, said today that Kosovo has made concrete steps on strengthening of the rule of law and achieved progress in fighting corruption, adding that there is more to be done on this direction.
He said during the meeting of the National Council against corruption, that war against organized crime and corruption is not an easy one.
“During the last ten years, Kosovo has undertaken a range of actions on the rule of law. Kosovo has endorsed the legislation for this field. Kosovo faced challenges on implementation of the legislation,” Thaci said and added that Kosovo has already fulfilled 95 necessary criteria for visa liberalisation, including delivering results in combating organised crime and corruption.
