The European Commission has warned that Kosovo risks losing tens of millions of euros in funding if it fails to implement its Reform Agenda under the EU Growth Plan by June 30, 2026.
Kosovo is currently without a functional parliament, and there are growing concerns that the institutional deadlock could continue throughout June or even longer.
Parliamentary elections are scheduled for June 7, while the vote-counting process, certification of results, and constitution of a new Assembly are all expected to extend beyond the EU deadline.
In a response to KALLXO.com, the European Commission stated that Kosovo is eligible to receive up to €882.6 million, provided that it fulfills the required reform steps and meets all payment conditions under the Reform Agenda.
The Commission stressed that, following the delayed ratification of the Instrument Agreement and Loan Agreement, Kosovo must accelerate implementation efforts to avoid losing funding tied to reform milestones whose deadlines are approaching rapidly.
According to the Commission, the next reporting deadline is June 30, 2026. After evaluating progress on reform implementation — and if all conditions are met — regular disbursement of funds under the EU Growth Plan may proceed.
“With the end of the first grace period on June 30 for 13 reform steps, Kosovo risks losing funds if it does not make progress in implementing the Reform Agenda,” the Commission stated.
Earlier, when the EU transferred €61.8 million in pre-financing funds to Kosovo following ratification of the agreements, the government announced that Kosovo had committed to implementing 111 reform measures.
These reforms cover key sectors including the rule of law, governance, economic development, green and digital transition, and human capital development.
