The Chief Negotiator of the Republic of Kosovo with the European Union, Jeton Zulfaj, met today with the new Ambassador of Sweden to Kosovo, Ms. Åsa Pehrson, and wished her success in her new role.
Sweden has stood by Kosovo during critical periods in its history—from post-war reconstruction and the strengthening of democratic institutions to ongoing support for economic development, the rule of law, and the path toward European Union membership. Mr. Zulfaj acknowledged Sweden’s tangible contribution, noting that it ranks among Kosovo’s five largest donors.
The meeting followed up on discussions held during Mr. Zulfaj’s official visit to Stockholm in June, where he spoke with representatives of Swedish institutions regarding support for reforms and Kosovo’s progress in the EU accession process.
In his discussion with Ambassador Pehrson, Chief Negotiator Zulfaj addressed Kosovo’s progress in implementing reforms, priorities within the EU accession process, and the importance of continued Swedish support in this endeavor. Mr. Zulfaj thanked Ambassador Pehrson for Sweden’s friendship and continued support, and expressed his conviction that cooperation between the two countries will deepen further as Kosovo pursues its path toward membership in the European Union.
