Osmani had a regular meeting with Hovenieri in her office in Pristina on Monday, announced the Presidency of Kosovo.
"At the meeting, the latest developments in the country were discussed, including the developments in the dialogue with Serbia", the announcement states.
The chief negotiators of Kosovo and Serbia, Besnik Bislimi and Petar Petkovic, will meet on Tuesday in Brussels as part of the dialogue for the normalization of relations. Their meeting comes a week after separate meetings in Brussels between the leaders of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, with the EU's high representative for foreign policy and security, Josep Borrell.
Kosovo has been under punitive measures of the European Union since the summer of 2023, which the bloc imposed in response to the escalation of the security situation in the north of Kosovo, when the Albanian presidents - emerging from the elections that were boycotted by the local Serbs - began the task of them in the municipalities in the north.
Last month, Radio Free Europe learned that the EU is expected to partially and gradually lift the measures against Kosovo.
On June 19, in the Committee for Politics and Security of the EU (PSC), where the representatives of the member states participated, the lifting of the measures against Kosovo was discussed.
According to sources, most EU states were in favor of the complete lifting of the measures, as recommended by the bloc's high representative for foreign policy and security, Josep Borrell, in the report he submitted to member states on June 18. regarding the steps that Kosovo has taken to reduce tensions in the north inhabited by a Serbian majority.
Among the measures of the EU are the temporary suspension of the work of the bodies of the Stabilization-Association Agreement. Kosovo is also not invited to high-level events and bilateral visits have been suspended, except for those that focus on addressing the crisis in northern Kosovo within the EU-facilitated dialogue.
The proposals submitted by Kosovo within the framework of the Investment Framework in the Western Balkans (WBIF) have not been presented for consideration by the board of this fund. New contracts where the Kosovo authorities are the beneficiaries are currently prohibited.
The authorities in Kosovo have insisted several times that they have fulfilled the requirements for the removal of the measures and that the situation in the north of Kosovo has escalated, the Kosovo Serbs have had the opportunity to vote for the dismissal of the mayors of the municipalities and now, according to them, there is no reason to to keep these measures./ REL
