Kosovo is committed on its European integration path

Based on this, Kosovo, with its own potential, continued to factorize and contribute to its membership in regional and international initiatives. Also, being involved in the dialogue facilitated by European Union, it has managed to advance with the European agenda, while meeting the technical and political criteria in this regard. In comparison with the countries of the region, only one year after the entry into force of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, Kosovo marked a great success in SAA implementation, while it managed to establish and functionalize the key structures that will contribute to the implementation of The SAA, therefore it is expected that Kosovo will maximally benefit from SAA. Minister Ahmetaj invited international students to keep following developments in Kosovo even after the end of this summer program and to be a voice of reality with its dynamic youth, as well as the rapid social development that Kosovo is going through.

While to local students, Minister Ahmetaj conveyed the message that institutions are maximally committed to meeting the criteria under their responsibility and the future of Kosovo is bright. The International Summer Academy is organized by Kosovo Center of Diplomacy, in cooperation with Kolegji Universum.

This event hosted 53 students from 27 different countries such as the USA, England, Scotland, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Latvia, Ireland, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Columbia, Switzerland, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Bahrain, Ukraine and Nigeria.
