Gashi defends the government: EU integration remains Kosovo’s strategic direction

Liza Gashi, a member of the Vetëvendosje Movement, spoke at an extraordinary session of the Kosovo Assembly, where the European Commission’s Progress Report is under review.

Speaking on behalf of the LVV parliamentary group, Gashi thanked the opposition for initiating the session. She described the debate as an appropriate opportunity to discuss one of the Republic of Kosovo’s strategic goals: European integration.

She said the session also serves to present Kosovo’s achievements and progress in its process of moving closer to the European Union.

Gashi noted that although the report largely assesses that there has been no progress, the country’s progress is “undeniable.”

She stressed that European integration remains Kosovo’s strategic direction and a shared commitment, on which, she said, there should be no political divisions.

“European integration remains our strategic direction and a shared commitment. I do not believe there are political differences on this issue,” Gashi said.
