In the meantime, we’ll finalize a few more procedural and technical matters,” said Thaci, who returned yesterday from Brussels, where he had met with EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana and Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn. The Kosovo prime minister said that he expected “the EU to be united in recognizing Kosovo’s independence.” Meanwhile, he and Topi committed to intensifying cooperation between Kosovo and Albania. “Cooperation between Kosovo and Albania is excellent and will intensify after independence,” said Thaci.
