"The Commission will continue to assist Kosovo. We are setting aside serious aid. Today, Kosovo is getting the highest aid per capita," Barroso said. He pointed out, however, that Kosovo needs to help itself in order to meet its "EU integration goals". "We are here to help you, but it is up to you to ensure steps forwards, in the fight against corruption, in reform, in rule of law. You need to do this yourselves," the EC president underlined.
