Among the topics discussed during the meeting, the Prime Minister’s Office announced that they also addressed a new bilateral agreement under which the Government of Luxembourg has increased its financial commitment to Kosovo to €50 million, up from the €35 million allocated for the 2023-2026 period.

Meanwhile, the priority areas of cooperation will be: education, healthcare, innovation, digitalization, cybersecurity, as well as other fields of strategic importance for the country’s development. In the coming months, the institutions will work on identifying projects and detailing them,” the PMO said.
