Secretary General Michele Valensise received the Director General of Kosovo\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Albert Prenkaj, at the Farnesina today. Bilateral relations, the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and Kosovo\u2019s pathway to Europe were the main topics for discussion. Over the last few days Prenkaj has met several Foreign Ministry officials, with today\u2019s cordial meeting bringing his visit to a close.<\/P>
\n
Ambassador Prenkaj thanked Italy for its support for Kosovo since the country\u2019s independence and hoped to see relations become even closer through more frequent exchanges of visits. Valensise recalled Minister Bonino\u2019s visit to Pristina in June 2013 and reiterated Italy\u2019s priority interest in the stabilisation of the Balkans. And, in that framework, in strengthening Kosovo\u2019s institutions and i<\/A>n its closer integration with Europe. These issues, he pointed out, will be the focus of the Italian Presidency of the European Union, starting on 1 July 2014. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Secretary General Michele Valensise received the Director General of Kosovo\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Albert Prenkaj, at the Farnesina today.
