Jiri Plecity, speaking on behalf of KE, addressed the issue during parliamentary discussions concerning Kosovo’s application for European Union membership. He highlighted the critical requirement for accelerated reforms within the nation. The European Commission confirmed its continued willingness to progress Kosovo’s application process.
However, Plecity clarified that the primary onus for advancement rests squarely with Kosovo itself. “The Commission remains prepared to prepare an opinion regarding Kosovo’s application for membership and, of course, will continue to support Kosovo on its European path,” he asserted. Despite this support, Plecity underscored the necessity of a tangible, proactive approach.
He emphasized that Kosovo’s commitment to a pro-European stance must be demonstrably realized. “It is clear that Kosovo bears a significant responsibility for its own future, and, above all, its strong pro-European orientation and public support must materialize.”
The discussion centered on ensuring the successful progression of Kosovo’s bid for membership, recognizing the ongoing role of the European Commission and the vital self-determination of the country. The focus remains on concrete actions aligning with a genuine commitment to European integration.
