Bulgarian Foreign Minister Urged to Support Kosovo in EU

Bulgarian Foreign Affairs Minister, Nikolay Mladenov, has showed his support for the strengthening of the state institutions in Kosovo so as “to protect the rights of all ethnic communities.”

Mladenov was speaking after meeting with his counterpart in Pristina Skender Hyseni and Kosovo PM Hashim Thaci, as part of his Balkan tour.

Regional leaders in Pristina called on Mladenov to make sure that Kosovo is not abandoned in the background and Hyseni stressed that the EU should dive a clear perspective on visa liberalization for the citizens of Kosovo to keep pace with Albania and Bosnia.

PM Thaci said he hoped soon to visit Sofia and he invited Bulgaria PM to Pristina. Regarding Borisov’s possible visit he said; “He knows Kosovo…we admire what he is doing in Bulgaria. He is welcome to come here and I hope he can find time to do so.”
