Regarding Serbia’s EU membership, Kos stated that the lack of accountability regarding the Banjska terrorist attack should not be allowed to pass without consequences.

“Regarding Serbia and the omissions that have been made in the past, this is an important part of how Serbia will chart its path. That is to say, their commitment regarding Banjska and their lack of accountability should not be allowed to pass as such,” she said.

The European Union Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, also met today with the acting president, Albulena Haxhiu.

Friday’s visit to Kosovo is her first since taking office in 2024. Her agenda does not include visits to other countries in the region before or after her stay in Pristina.

Kos had planned a visit to Kosovo on March 12, but it was canceled due to political developments at the time—President Vjosa Osmani had issued a decree dissolving the Assembly on March 6, as the state body had failed to elect its speaker a day earlier, which was the deadline.

This visit comes roughly three weeks before new elections scheduled in Kosovo on June 7.
