On the first day of Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva's visit to Pristina, President Hashim Thaci, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and Minister of Foreign Affairs Behgjet Pacolli expressed their gratitude for the support the Bulgarian government has expressed for the European integration of Kosovo.

Minister Zaharieva said it was expected that at the EU summit in May next year in Sofia the countries of the Western Balkans would receive not only political support but also clear roadmaps for their European integration. The Minister pointed out that cooperation between the two countries could be deepened by organizing joint business forums and attracting more young people and civil servants from Kosovo for training and qualification in Bulgaria.
