"At the Thessaloniki session of the European Council on 19 and 20 June 2003, a promise was made to all the Western Balkan States that they would become EU Member States, and this promise was reiterated at the high-level meeting on the Western Balkans in Sarajevo on 2 June 2010. Regional cooperation and good neighbourly relations are of great significance for the process of European integration, and also play an important role in the effort to ensure security and stability in the region. The declaration of independence of Kosovo has been recognised by 85 countries, including 22 EU Member States. For the EU, it is important to engage in dialogue with Kosovo, and this commitment is of great significance for the preservation of stability and security in the EU’s immediate neighbourhood. I take the view that an important role is also played by the EULEX rule-of-law mission, which is tangible proof of the commitment of the entire EU and its 27 Member States to the improvement of the rule of law in Kosovo. The EU should create initiatives aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of this important mission and ensuring it is accepted throughout Kosovo. Considerable progress has been made in some areas, such as police and customs. However, the core activities in areas focusing on the fight against corruption and organised crime, as well as war crimes, should be stepped up so that the mission can deliver more tangible results."@en1
