The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani, met today with the CEO of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), Alice Albright.
President Osmani thanked Mrs. Albright and MCC for their engagements and dedication to the successful launch of the Compact Program for the Republic of Kosovo. President Osmani emphasized the dedication of Kosovo's institutions to this program, which was also reflected in the process of negotiation, signing and ratification in a record time by the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo.
President Osmani said that the project will put Kosovo on the map as an example for the entire region and beyond, in terms of investments in the energy sector. She estimated that the investment in batteries will affect the facilitation of the energy transition and the faster integration of renewable energy sources in the energy system, while the raising of the capacities of the labor force, especially of women, will affect the creation of necessary human resources for successful implementation of innovative projects.
President Osmani pointed out the continuous support for all relevant institutions in order to materialize the program as soon as possible, which will ultimately affect the attraction of foreign investments.
At the meeting, President Osmani also spoke about the steadfast friendship between Kosovo and the United States, emphasizing that the new program with the MCC will mark a new chapter that once again confirms the special relationship between our two countries. On this occasion, President Osmani expressed the deep gratitude of the people of Kosovo to Mrs. Albright for the contribution of her mother, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, to the freedom of our nation.
