Kosovo Assembly President, Kadri Veseli, posted on Facebook today on the occasion of Europe Day saying that Kosovo has never been closer to the European Union. Veseli wrote: “Today is Europe Day which marks the historic declaration by Robert Schuman 66 years ago when he presented the visionary idea of creating inter-state institutions between countries that just years earlier had waged the worst war against one another. This declaration served as the foundation for building the European Union and therefore it is considered the day of peace, unity and European solidarity … With the Stabilization/Association Agreement and the recommendation for visa liberalization, Kosovo has never been closer to the European Union. This day however should not serve only for celebration but also to reflect on the responsibilities that all of us have in the integration process and the necessary focus and commitment to meet the membership criteria.”
