“Kosovo’s application for membership in the European Union must be handled without further delays, and the country’s progress should be assessed on the basis of merit,” she said.
She underlined that Kosovo is not seeking favorable treatment, but an equal and fair procedure.
“Kosovo is not asking for an exemption from the criteria, but for a fair process that would pave the way for obtaining candidate country status and the start of membership negotiations,” Haxhiu said.
Haxhiu also presented Kosovo’s achievements in reforms related to European integration, the rule of law and economic development, emphasizing that the country’s Euro-Atlantic course remains unchanged.
“Kosovo’s Euro-Atlantic orientation is clear, stable and enjoys broad public support,” the acting president said.
The meeting also addressed the dialogue with Serbia, security issues, as well as the lack of accountability for the terrorist attack in Banjska.
“The European process must be based on the implementation of agreements and on equal accountability for all parties,” Haxhiu stressed.
