A few days ago, it was announced that the European Union Committee of the Regions, in order to harmonize the terminology used for Kosovo with that of the European Parliament, has removed the asterisk and the footnote.
In connection with this, the First Deputy Prime Minister, also Minister of Foreign Affairs, Glauk Konjufca, wrote today on the social network X.
“We welcome the decision of the Committee of the Regions to discontinue the use of 'Kosovo*' and the accompanying footnote in its public documents. This step aligns the Committee with the European Parliament and reflects greater institutional clarity regarding Kosovo's European perspective.
Special thanks to Gillian Coughlan, Chair of the Kosovo Working Group in the European Union Committee of the Regions and Rapporteur on Enlargement, for her principled support and continued commitment to Kosovo," Konjufca writes.
