Albin Kurti meets Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace

Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace.

Following the meeting, Kurti praised France’s support, saying that it has stood by Kosovo since the war for liberation and independence and continues to be an important partner for the country.

He said that he discussed new opportunities for cooperation between the two countries, Kosovo’s Euro-Atlantic integration and regional security with Macron. Kurti also underlined the importance of French support for Kosovo to obtain candidate status and begin accession negotiations with the European Union.

During the discussion, the prime minister expressed his appreciation for Macron’s initiative aimed at protecting children from the risks posed by the increasingly widespread use of technology.

This issue was among the main topics at this year’s Paris Peace Forum. In this context, Kosovo joined the Political Declaration of the Children’s Summit, which aims to protect the well-being, rights and future of younger generations.

Kurti said that the two countries would continue their cooperation for peace, economic development and their shared European perspective.
