Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti said today that during his stay in Bucharest at the conference of the Party of European Socialists (PES), he called on European officials to support Kosovo on its way to the Council of Europe, especially in the vote on April 16 in the Parliamentary Assembly.
"Productive visits, not only to strengthen cooperation with our closest friends and allies, but also to be more inspired by our values, increase common knowledge and commitment to our future," Kurti wrote on Facebook.
He expressed his satisfaction that, as he stated, "he is back among friends in the great European social democratic family".
"This time the PES conference was in the beautiful city of Bucharest. We also know Bucharest very well as a city that was historically an important center of the Albanian national renaissance, a place where Albanian intellectuals freely developed national thought. As we are two months before the European elections, this meeting was of great importance for strengthening mutual coordination," Kurti wrote.
He added that social democracy carries ideas, traditions and values for the protection and development of democracy and Europeanism, at a time when they are "threatened by forces and autocratic regimes that aim to weaken the European Union".
Kurti said that during his stay at the PES conference, among the representatives of various parties, he was a participant in a reception with the Prime Minister of Romania, Marcel Colaku.
He added that on the sidelines of the conference he spoke and was in the presence of the European Commissioner and PES candidate for European Commission President Nikolas Schmidt, PES President and former Prime Minister of Sweden Stefan Leven, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other representatives of PES member parties.
