Kosovo government administration and diplomatic activities

Overview

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has initiated several domestic and international diplomatic efforts. Following the formation of a new administration, Kurti appointed 27 deputy ministers and met with political representatives from the Preševo, Bujanovac, and Medveđa regions to discuss the protection of ethnic Albanian rights. During the UN General Assembly in New York, Kurti expanded his diplomatic engagement. He met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to discuss security, defense industry collaboration, and Turkey’s role in KFOR, noting that trade between the two nations has reached approximately $1 billion. Discussions included strengthening the defense industry through investments such as a new munitions factory in Gjakovë. Kurti also expressed gratitude for Turkey's support regarding Kosovo's NATO aspirations. Kurti met with Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković to discuss security, defense, and economic cooperation. He also engaged with US officials, including Congressman Mike Lawler and Congressman George Latimer, to strengthen economic ties and discuss the potential for Camp Bondsteel to become a permanent US military base. He also met with UK Envoy Dame Karen Pierce and EU High Representative Kaja Kallas to discuss Kosovo's Euro-Atlantic perspective and the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement. On the economic front, Kurti met with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva to discuss reforms and energy crises, and with World Bank President Ajay Banga to address Kosovo’s transition from a recipient to a donor state. He highlighted economic progress, including steady GDP growth—noting increases of 5.4 percent in the first quarter and 4.1 percent in the second quarter—and a reduction in unemployment from 26% to 10%.
