She said Britain aims to continue cooperating with Kosovo and its institutions to help the country develop as a democratic and inclusive state.
The United Kingdom, one of the first countries to recognize Kosovo’s independence, called on countries that have yet to recognize it to join the majority of states that have done so.
The British representative said that normalizing relations between Kosovo and Serbia is essential for the long-term stability and European prospects of both countries. She called for the agreements reached to be implemented and for constructive participation in the European Union-mediated dialogue, including the Ohrid Agreement.
She also stressed that the rights of non-majority communities in Kosovo must be protected and that guarantees for them must be implemented in practice, in accordance with the rule of law.
Addressing the issue of people who were forcibly disappeared during the war in Kosovo, the representative called on Serbia to provide access to relevant archives and documentation. This, she said, would help make progress in establishing the fate of more than 1,500 people who are still missing.
Finally, she returned to the attack in Banjska and the killing of Kosovo Police Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku, again calling for those responsible to face justice. In this context, she mentioned Milan Radoičić.
