The Republic of Kosovo's unwavering commitment to building stable institutions and deepening regional cooperation is in the interest of both the countries of Southeast Europe and the European Union, and deserves recognition and support. This was stated by President Rumen Radev at a meeting in Riyadh with the President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani. The two held talks during the ninth edition of the Future Investment Initiative forum, hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Rumen Radev and Vjosa Osmani discussed topics on the agenda of regional cooperation and the process of European integration of the Western Balkan countries. They shared the view that the progress of the countries applying for EU membership should be assessed based on their own achievements and the reforms actually carried out. In this regard, President Radev noted the political and public consensus in Kosovo in support of the country's European integration, as well as the systematic actions of the institutions in this direction.
During the meeting, the Bulgarian head of state also expressed his gratitude to President Osmani for the actions taken in support of the Bulgarian community in Kosovo and for its institutional integration.
