Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, Prof. Dr. Kuçi met with the European Parliament Rapporteur for Kosovo Ulrike Lunacek.
Minister Kuçi thanked MEP Lunacek for her contribution to Kosovo, in particular for her reporting on Kosovo and the proceeding of the resolution for Kosovo to the European Parliament. 

The meeting discussed the transition of EULEX, specifically on the coordination and negotiation process as well as on EU integration processes.
Minister Kuçi stressed that Kosovo institutions are ready to take over obligations under law, stating that the aid of the EU mission is needed in the form of advisory assistance for capacity building in specific areas. Kuçi stressed that EU Integration processes should be intensified and that Kosovo is ready to fulfil all obligations. 

MEP Lunacek expressed her consideration for the good cooperation with all institutions in the country, appreciating the work and recent developments in the country. She stated that EP noticed progress made in the field of justice, which according to her should be reflected in all processes. 

However, Lunacek highlighted several areas where there is still work to be done in the field of justice, namely the independence of the judiciary and the fight against corruption as well as witness protection. She stressed the need for inter-institutional cooperation, but also the need for EULEX and other missions to operate in partnership with institutions.
