SAA between EU and Kosovo comes into effect

"The SAA establishes a contractual relationship that entails mutual rights and obligations and covers a wide variety of sectors," said the statement, adding it will "support the implementation of reforms and will give Kosovo an opportunity to move closer to Europe."

"This agreement opens a new phase in the EU-Kosovo relationship and represents an important contribution to peace, stability and prosperity in Kosovo and the region at large. I am looking forward to its implementation," EU High Representative Federica Mogherini has been quoted as saying on the occasion.

"This agreement is a milestone for the EU-Kosovo relationship: it will help keep Kosovo on the path of reform and will create trade and investment opportunities. I am very much looking forward to my next visit to Pristina to mark this important moment and to explain the benefits it can bring in terms of growth and employment to Kosovo businesses, investors and the general public," said EU Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Commissioner Johannes Hahn.

The EC added that "the SAA focuses on respect for key democratic principles and core elements that are at the heart of the EU's single market," and that it will "establish an area that allows for free trade and the application of European standards in other areas such as competition, state aid and intellectual property."

"Other provisions cover political dialogue, cooperation in a wide variety of sectors ranging from education and employment to energy, the environment and justice and home affairs," the statement concluded.

Rusi prešli severnu granicu: Harkov pada?

Ofanziva ruskih snaga na harkovskom pravcu pokazala se toliko brzom i snažnom da im oskudne odbrambene strukture Ukrajine nisu postale prepreka, a osiromašeni redovi ukrajinskih oružanih snaga nisu bili spremni da brane svoje položaje, piše Njujork tajms.
