Kosovo’s Minister of European Integration, Dhurata Hoxha, said in a meeting with Bulgarian Ambassador, Nedialtcho Dantchev, that Kosovo needs to be given a timeline regarding its EU integration and also be included in all enlargement initiatives. “There is consensus on the integration aspect in our country. It is regrettable that Kosovo is the last in Balkans in the process. Any strategy dealing with Western Balkans integration would not be complete and make sense without Kosovo,” Hoxha said.

Ambassador Dantchev, whose country has taken over the presidency of the Council of the EU, confirmed Bulgaria’s continued support for Kosovo’s European perspective. “Kosovo has a certain European future and its friendly countries, in this case Bulgaria, will be alongside Kosovo in this process,” Dantchev said.
