"This motion for a resolution, tabled following the declarations by the Council and the Commission, concerns the European integration process of Kosovo. We all remember the conflicts in the Western Balkans, so all efforts to consolidate peace and encourage economic development in the region’s countries are to be welcomed. Despite the political problems between Serbia and Kosovo, the reality is that Kosovo’s declaration of independence has already been recognised by 85 countries, 22 of which are EU Member States. In 2003, at the time of the Thessaloniki European Council, the Western Balkan countries were promised accession to the EU. This commitment was renewed in Sarajevo, in June 2010. We agree that Kosovo’s future is in the EU. We therefore welcome the reforms under way, and we urge the Kosovo authorities to continue combating corruption and organised crime, to work with neighbouring countries, and to gear their structures towards a market economy. I voted for this motion and I hope that the accession negotiations will start shortly, so that all Kosovars can enjoy a more prosperous future."@en1
