Kosovo’s newly appointed chief negotiator for European Union integration, Jeton Zulfaj, held an introductory meeting with heads of missions from EU member states in Kosovo to discuss the country’s progress toward European integration.
According to the Office of the Prime Minister, the meeting was convened at the invitation of Eva Palatová, Acting Head of the EU Office in Kosovo.
Discussions focused on the advancement of Kosovo’s EU integration process, implementation of the Reform Agenda under the Reform and Growth Instrument (RGF), and the need to strengthen institutional coordination to ensure sustainable reform delivery.
Zulfaj expressed gratitude to the European Union and its member states for their continued support and contribution to Kosovo’s development. He emphasized that his primary objective will be advancing Kosovo toward candidate status and opening accession negotiations—key steps toward full EU membership.
He reiterated that Kosovo’s path toward EU integration is a shared effort, highlighting the country’s alignment with EU foreign policy, its commitment to European values, and its strong performance in regional democratic development indicators and economic progress.
The meeting also provided an opportunity for an open exchange on challenges and opportunities ahead, underlining the importance of accelerating reforms and enhancing institutional cooperation to move Kosovo closer to EU membership.
