"I welcomed this proposal on the European integration process of Kosovo because, at the Thessaloniki European Council of 19 and 20 June 2003, a promise was made to all the Western Balkan States that they would join the European Union, and this promise was reiterated at the High Level Meeting on the Western Balkans in Sarajevo. However, the return of refugees and internally displaced persons remains a challenge for Kosovo. The proposal welcomes the efforts of the Kosovar authorities to support returnees, and encourages further efforts at central and local level to ensure the socio-economic integration of the returnees, paying special attention to the needs of Serbian, Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian returnees. The Kosovar authorities also need to increase the quality and transparency of the legislative process in order to provide Kosovo with a sound legal framework and to improve confidence in the legal system. Meanwhile, the Council and the Commission of the European Union should negotiate a trade agreement with Kosovo as soon as possible, as this is crucial for the development of the country and to fight unemployment successfully."@en1
