Prime Minister Albin Kurti declared that Kosovo will officially apply for EU membership in December.
This is what Kurti said in an interview with the well-known journalist Michael Matens, who is a correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Martens, today shared on Twitter some parts of the interview with Kurti, which has not yet been published in full.
Kurti said that he agreed to a compromise on the "license plate crisis" after he was warned by the American ambassador in Pristina that the situation in the north of Kosovo "could deteriorate severely and irreversibly".
The American ambassador "had more information than I did" about the situation in the north, Kurti emphasized, citing "security concerns" without going into details.
Otherwise, on Wednesday (November 23), the Kosovar side and the Serbian side have reached an agreement regarding the license plates, confirmed the high representative of the EU for foreign policy, Josep Borrell.
"I am pleased to inform you that the chief negotiators of Kosovo and Serbia, under the facilitation of the EU, have agreed on measures to avoid further escalation and to fully focus on the proposal for the normalization of relations between them", he said. wrote Borrell on Twitter.
