Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti hosted Monday chief of UNMIK, Zahir Tanin. The meeting is held ahead of the UN Security Council meeting on Kosovo scheduled on Friday.

According to Prime Minister’s Office head of UNMIK presented in brief the content of the report of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo that will be presented to the Security Council. Tanin said the report focuses on government reform, rule of law, security issues and the pandemic situation and management.

PM Kurti thanked Tanin for informing him of the report and raised some concerns regarding pluralism and democracy in Kosovo Serb-majority municipalities. “Ahead of the local elections, it is important to have free and democratic elections, where every citizen of the Republic votes on the basis of personal convictions and is not subject to pressure and intimidation and when such cases are present, they should be monitored and reported,” Kurti told Tanin. Emphasizing the institutional stability in the country and the fact that citizens of all communities in Kosovo are interested in work and justice, welfare and equality, the Prime Minister stressed the need to condemn the efforts of criminal structures and the attacks that took place in registration centers in Zubin Potok and Zvecan. /GazetaExpress/
