Zulfaj: All reforms will be implemented, Kosovo aims to secure €882 million from the EU

Kosovo will not abandon any of the reforms included in the Reform Agenda, even though some deadlines have not been met on time. Jeton Zulfaj, the chief negotiator for European integration, said it was unfavorable for the country not to receive European Union funds on time, but that the measures planned for the June 30 deadline remain part of the agenda. Speaking at a roundtable organized by the Group for Legal and Political Studies (GLPS) on the topic “Kosovo’s path to the EU after the political deadlock: From momentum to reforms,” Zulfaj said that most of the remaining reforms are expected to be implemented during this year. He emphasized that the delays are concerning, but that no reform will be left behind. “We have repeatedly said that reforms do not disappear; we are in a reform process called the ‘Reform Agenda.’ It is unfavorable when funds are not received on time and deadlines matter, but the measures planned through June 30 remain on our agenda. Most of them will be implemented this year. Stagnation is bad, but today we have an opportunity to discuss the process,” he said.
