Minister Tahiri thanked the Deputy Minister Uçar for the support that the Republic of Turkey gave to Kosovo, and expressed full readiness to further cultivate the good relationships between the two countries.

In this respect, Minister Tahiri expressed his concern about Turkey’s failure to implement the Agreement on Mutual Legal Assistance and to respond to the requests of the Prosecution Office of Kosovo for the provision of evidence that would be used against a group suspected of terrorism.

According to Minister Tahiri, increase in cooperation would enable both countries a better coordination of actions in the fight against terrorism and radicalism and tendencies of such nature, which have now become a global problem.

Deputy Minister of the Republic of Turkey, Bilal Uçar, showed commitment to reviewing these requests with priority, and highlighted the importance of the cooperation of Turkey and Kosovo in this area.
