The European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, is set to respond to Members of the European Parliament regarding allegations of past cooperation with the former Yugoslav secret police, known as UDBA.
The hearing will take place on April 20 during a session of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs. The meeting replaces an earlier session scheduled for March 16, which was canceled by Kos citing a busy agenda shortly after new claims about her past surfaced.
The controversy intensified following the promotion of the book “Komisionarja” by Igor Omerza at the European Parliament, where documents were presented that allegedly suggest links between Kos and the Yugoslav-era security structures.
However, the European Commission has firmly denied the accusations, emphasizing that Kos underwent a thorough vetting process during her nomination. Officials also noted that the European Parliament had already approved her appointment following standard procedures, including a review of her declaration of interests.
The case is expected to draw significant attention, as it touches on historical accountability, political credibility, and transparency within EU institutions.
