After a morning meeting with the UK Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Yvette Cooper, and following the conclusion of the Berlin Process Summit sessions, Kosovo’s acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on the sidelines of the summit.

Prime Minister Kurti expressed high appreciation for the UK’s leadership and for organizing the 12th Berlin Process Summit, held in London for the second time since 2018.

While discussing key summit topics, including security, economic growth, and migration, Kurti emphasized the UK’s crucial role in strengthening regional cooperation, security, and peace.

They then explored ways to deepen cooperation and support in areas of mutual interest such as energy, security and defense, infrastructure, and education. Kurti highlighted collaboration in defense, noting Kosovo’s ongoing investments in this sector.

He thanked the UK for confirming that the British Armed Forces will continue supporting NATO-led peacekeeping operations in Kosovo, KFOR, for at least three more years. He also welcomed the UK’s backing at yesterday’s UN session for Kosovo’s recognition by member states and for Serbia’s handover of the terrorist Radoiçiq, who remains free after the attack in Banjskë, posing a security threat.
