Gazeta Express reports that Vetevendosje leader Albin Kurti met today with U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo Philip Kosnett, two days after Vetevendosje won in the early parliamentary elections. Vetevendosje issued a press release after the meeting saying that Kosnett was pleased with the smooth course of the election process and the high voter turnout. “In a friendly meeting, Ambassador Kosnett said he was pleased with the smooth course of the election process, the high voter turnout and congratulated Kurti for a campaign that addressed the voters’ concerns. He showed particular interest in the progress against corruption, the economy, progress in the dialogue with Serbia, toward reaching a comprehensive agreement that would bring stability and sustainable peace to the region,” the press release notes. “Kurti assured Kosnett that he will be a Prime Minister of all citizens of Kosovo. He notified the ambassador that Kosovo’s internal consolidation with democratic state-building, the rule of law, economic development and social progress are among the priorities he will implement, as these were voiced by the citizens and their will expressed in the elections. Kurti said starting from the first week, he would initiate dialogue with the Kosovo Serbs, from the bottom up, for their development and integration. In the first month, he said a meeting is needed with Mr. Borrell, the new EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, as well as with Brussels on the dialogue with Serbia, because the dialogue with Serbia needs to be well-prepared and with clear principles. Beforehand, the chapter of the 33 agreements signed needs to be closed, namely their implementation and impact needs to be evaluated. We should not run late but there is also no need to be hasty and make mistakes that can cost us in the future”.
