The EU's number one for enlargement, Marta Kos, will stay in Kosovo on Friday.
In fact, the Slovenian commissioner is coming to Pristina, as KosovaPress learns, tonight, directly from London, where she is scheduled to have two meetings during the day.
In Kosovo, meanwhile, it has planned to realize three such projects.
Two of them are with the "acting" representatives of the institutions.
One of them, according to an agenda announced by the European Commission, will be with the acting president, Albulena Haxhiu.
The second with the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti. With the latter, as KosovaPress learns, an appearance before the media has also been scheduled, at 11:30 am.
Kos' third meeting in Pristina is not planned to be with representatives of the opposition, but with those of civil society.
Friday's visit to Kosovo will be the first for the EU Enlargement Commissioner since she took office in 2024. Her agenda does not include any visits to other countries in the region before or after her stay in Pristina.
Kos had planned a visit to Kosovo on March 12, but it was canceled due to the political developments of those days - President Vjosa Osmani had issued a decree to dissolve the Assembly on March 6, since this state body failed to elect the head of state a day earlier, when the deadline for doing so was.
Friday's visit comes three weeks before new elections are held in Kosovo on June 7.
The EU Enlargement Commissioner comes to Pristina three days after the strong, hopeful statement she made during a meeting of the Group of Friends of the Western Balkans (which includes seven EU member states, including the non-recognizing states of Kosovo – Slovakia and Greece) in Bratislava, Slovakia, where she said that European security is closely linked to the stability of the Western Balkans.
"If we do not integrate our neighborhood into the European Union in this, I call it, crazy geopolitical situation, where for the first time we have external destabilizing forces that would like to see us fail in the membership process, they could intervene and then use those countries against us, just as Russia is doing, for example, in Belarus, using migrants as a weapon against the EU," she said.
