To the President of the Republic of Kosovo
H.E. Hashim Thaçi
Prishtina
On the occasion of your inauguration as President of the Republic of Kosovo, I am pleased to convey to you our most sincere congratulations by expressing best wishes in carrying out your duties.
Our two countries are linked with strong bilateral relations reflected in a political dialogue at all levels through increased cooperation. The importance Rome gives to the relations with Kosovo is reflected also in the quality participation of Italy in international missions that are active in your country.
Therefore, my wish is that during your term, and also thanks to a renewed dialogue between the political actors, Kosovo shall make concrete and lasting progress within internal reforms needed to move forward on the path to the joint European home, and in normalizing relations with your neighbors. I am confident that in this regard Kosovo will continue to show a strong sense of responsibility, which will not lack the support of Italy.
Mr. President, in this spirit, I express my best wishes for your well-being and the welfare of your country.
Sergio Mattarella
President of the Italian Republic
