The Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, welcomed and talked today with professors and students from the Fletcher School of Tufts University, in the United States of America, as part of their study visit to Kosovo.

In this conversation, the prime minister spoke about topics of interest to the participants, and in his introductory speech he addressed three years of our progressive and democratic government, as well as issues that include the geopolitical situation in the region and beyond and transatlantic and regional cooperation.

About three years of our government, the prime minister summarized the successes and results achieved in this time period, highlighting the difference with previous periods, both in the economic plane, through economic growth, the doubling of export and foreign direct investments, and the increase in employment, which has particularly affected young people and women.

He also mentioned the international rankings of Kosovo, which have continuously witnessed the marked progress in the fight against corruption, the rule of law and the democratic advancement of the country, among other things. It also dealt with how this growth is redistributed to citizens and different levels of society, such as support for students, expectant mothers and so on.

The Prime Minister emphasized the objectives and goals of the Republic of Kosovo, in the journey towards membership in the European Union, NATO’s Partnership for Peace and the Council of Europe. He also spoke about the dialogue process and the destructive and aggressive behavior of Serbia towards our country.

Thanking them for the conversation, Prime Minister Kurti wished all the participants a pleasant and successful stay in Kosovo, to get to know and explore our country as much as possible.
