Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti commented on the European Committee of the Regions’ decision to remove the footnote next to the country’s name, previously referred to as “Kosovo*.” Kurti said that spring seems to be arriving early, and the footnote is melting like a snowflake.
“It seems that this year spring is coming earlier, and as it was said back then, the footnote will melt like a snowflake. Perhaps the year and the government were mistaken, but this is happening. Naturally, we still have a negative legacy from that time, and we shouldn’t get overly enthusiastic. I emphasize again that the obstacles, challenges, and difficulties faced during negotiations in Brussels stem from the backward legacy left by previous governments. We are working with great diligence and patience to eliminate them. The atmosphere in Brussels is positive for Kosovo to take steps forward. The next two most important steps are the European Commission questionnaire and the country’s candidate status,” Kurti stated.
