Kosovo’s Minister of European Integration, Dhurata Hoxha, commented on the recently-endorsed European Commission report on Kosovo saying it was “objective”. “It is very important that the EC considers Kosovo has made progress in many fields,” said Hoxha mentioning in this regard the ratification of the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro and municipal and parliamentary elections which EC said were “well-administered”. “One of the most important aspects in this report is the recognition of progress in the fight against corruption and organised crime. In this respect, the EC has stressed that Kosovo institutions have made progress in prosecuting cases of high-level corruption and organised crime,” Hoxha wrote. She said that apart from progress, the report has also highlighted challenges in certain fields. “This year, we need to focus more on strengthening law implementation, public administration reform, continue fight against corruption and organised crime and well as increase confiscation of assets. In addition, special attention needs to be put on education and employment,” Hoxha said.
