Kosovo minister without portfolio Edita Tahiri issued a statement announcing that Kosovo has gained international recognition in the energy transmission system as a result of agreement reached between the Kosovo Electricity Transmission System and Market Operator (KOSTT) and the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO). Tahiri said the agreement makes Kosovo an independent regulatory authority in the field of energy transmission. She also noted that the KOSTT-ENTSO agreement was a result of the EU-facilitated dialogue with Belgrade.
