In his interactions, he stressed the important role of both parliament and the opposition in supporting the government in the EU-facilitated Dialogue.

“Kosovo has made great progress in many areas and much of this can be directly attributed to the Dialogue, but just imagine the additional benefits Kosovo can gain for its citizens by reaching a final comprehensive normalisation Agreement with Serbia”, EU Special Representative Lajčák stressed.
