www.neurope.eu - The European Commission announced yesterday, 10 January, that has allocated €65 million to
bring Kosovo closer to Europe. "These new funds reflect our commitment to assist Kosovo on its path towards the
European Union. More effective public administration and judiciary, better integration of minorities and education, as
well as economic development are key priorities in this regard. Our funding will support the necessary reforms,
bringing tangible benefits to citizens," said Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy
Štefan Füle.
The funds will be used to support key reforms of the justice and public administration systems, for investments in
education and regional development, and to provide housing and job opportunities for ethnic minorities (Roma,
Ashkali and Egyptian) who are currently living in lead-contaminated camps. The funds will also be used to support
SMEs and strengthen Kosovo's trade capacities.
