Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support ContributeKurti also spoke about the dialogue process, saying that we will pursue the normalization of relations with Serbia through constructive and creative dialogue.
"We will pursue the normalization of relations with our northern neighbor, Serbia, through constructive and creative dialogue, through our basic Brussels agreement and the Ohrid implementation appeal. But as we have done in the past four years, normalization is a matter of regulating relations between two states, that is, as a bilateral external report and not intervention or meddling in internal affairs. The government will protect and implement the Constitution and the laws in force in every corner of our country," Kurti said.
He said that they will continue to support the Berlin Process.
"We will continue to strongly support the Berlin Process and the regional common market on the basis of equality and equal representation because we believe that good European neighborliness and regional cooperation contribute to both peace and security. We will work with anyone who extends a hand of cooperation on the basis of mutual respect," Kurti emphasized.
He has promised that in the next mandate they will launch the super works project.
"And for all the progress made in reducing inequality through maternity benefits. The superjob project for women will begin. When a woman is employed, the government supports her with a minimum wage of 500 euros for 6 months. Grandparents who take care of children receive an additional 100 euros per month on top of their basic pension. We are not only helping parents and grandparents, but also the family and the economy," Kurti said.
