In January 2024, the EU lifted visa requirements for Kosovar citizens — a long-awaited and overdue decision that marked a significant step forward in Kosovo’s engagement with the EU. Kosovo has undertaken major reforms, and in line with its promised future within the European Union as a potential candidate, it applied for EU membership in 2022. However, the European Commission has not provided an opinion on Kosovo's application.
Where does Kosovo stand with regard to implementing EU-related reforms? What are the main obstacles on Kosovo’s path to the EU, and how does the government plan to overcome them?
This in-person Policy Briefing with the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, will discuss the current dynamics and prospects for Kosovo's deeper and broader engagement with the European Union.
