Statement from the U.S. Embassy in Pristina, October 20, 2015

The Embassy of the United States in Kosovo strongly supports President Jahjaga’s attempts to foster political dialogue

The Embassy of the United States in Kosovo strongly supports President Jahjaga’s attempts to foster political dialogue among the political parties represented in Kosovo’s Assembly.  The Parliament is Kosovo’s most important institution and its function is vital to Kosovo’s democracy, prosperity, and security.  Only a functioning Assembly can debate and approve the measures needed to improve the lives of Kosovo’s citizens and ensure that Kosovo continues on its path towards Euro-Atlantic integration. We call on all parties to renounce any threats of violence, which are both illegal and not compatible with a modern democratic state.
