EU-NATO cooperation for the benefit of all Kosovo communities was at the centre of discussion as I met @NATO_KFOR Commander Major General Ulutaş.
While 🇪🇺 supports 🇽🇰’s EU integration politically & financially, KFOR plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe & secure environment.

[Dirk Schuebel @EUAmbKS]

In my first meeting with Acting President @albulenahaxhiu_, I was pleased to discuss the strategic goal of bringing multi-ethnic and prosperous Kosovo into the 🇪🇺.
Achieving it requires partnership, a constructive approach & making full use of 🇪🇺 opportunities.

As I leave, after more than 3 rewarding years in Kosovo, during which 🇪🇺-🇽🇰 relations entered a new chapter, my final appeal to Kosovo authorities & political actors is to engage with the EU in a constructive, cooperative and problem-solving manner.

The 🇪🇺 is here to support 🇽🇰!
