Kosovo’s acting Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has written to Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Andrej Babis explaining the reasons behind his decision not to attend the Western Balkans summit in Prague.
“Kosovo has entered the cycle of early elections and engagement at this important time for the country prevents me from participating at the V4 and WB6 Summit, under the chairmanship of the Czech Republic,” Haradinaj said in the letter.
He said Kosovo and the Czech Republic enjoy excellent bilateral relations and expressed appreciation for the Czech Government’s support to Kosovo’s efforts for visa liberalisation and Interpol membership bid last year.
Haradinaj said Kosovo shares the view that reestablishment of friendly relations between the Western Balkans countries and the European Union is an important step towards stability and prosperity of the region and “we are very much committed to move forward on this journey.”
