French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday his country would continue to support Kosovo and called on Pristina and Belgrade to find a solution and reach an agreement.

Macron, who is hosting Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti, said ahead of their meeting Kosovo’s leadership and people, like all other Western Balkans countries, were interested in joining the European Union.

„I call on Kosovo and Serbia to act as Europeans and engage in reaching an agreement and finding a compromise,“ Macron told reporters.

Kurti, who invited Macron to visit Pristina, said that the new US President Joseph Biden created a new policy with more balanced participation and higher confidence from Kosovo.
