President of the Republic of Kosovo, Mrs. Atifete Jahjaga, had today a phone conversation with the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Hoyt Yee, as continuation of Kosovo’s endeavours in fulfilment of its international obligations.
President Jahjaga and Mr. Yee emphasized the importance of establishment of Special Court by the Parliament of Kosovo, which will address the allegations of the Council of Europe report, and which at the same time reconfirms the dedication of the people and institutions of Kosovo for justice. Both interlocutors pointed out that with the voting in favour of establishment of the Special Court by the Parliament of Kosovo, Kosovo is demonstrating its determination to fulfilment of obligations undertaken as well as responsibility of the state.
President Jahjaga and Deputy Assistant Secretary Yee also spoke about the progress in European integration processes, especially the fulfilment of criteria towards visa liberalisation and signing of the SAA, continuation of international consolidation of the state and membership in international organisations, strengthening of the rule of law and order in Kosovo through expansion of the fight against corruption and organised crime, as well as extremism.
President Jahjaga reiterated the importance which USA has for Kosovo and for the region and stated that continuation of American support for our country will help the stability and security not only in Kosovo. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Yee, said that USA welcomes the decision of the Parliament of Kosovo on Special Court. He said that USA will be side by side with Kosovo during the important processes of its democratic development and will support its integrative journey. He encouraged the institutions of Kosovo to work more in the field of rule of law and order, through continuous internal reforms which help the promotion of economic development and foreign investments.
