Kosovo’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci said that the signing of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement is the most important step Kosovo is making towards EU membership. “Signing of the SAA is proof of the success the state of Kosovo has made and of our commitment to European values. This contractual agreement contains mutual obligations: commitment of Kosovo for reforms and commitment of the EU to assist us much more in this process, until the fulfillment of European perspective,” Thaci wrote on his Facebook profile.
