Statement by the Embassies of France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and the United States

In light of recent speculation, we would like to clarify our position with regard to the process of government formation in Kosovo. As noted in our statement of August 30 2019, “We represent nations deeply committed to a democratic and independent Kosovo. Any suggestion that our governments support a particular party or candidate in the election is incorrect… the responsibility for Kosovo’s future, for Kosovo’s leaders, and for Kosovo itself lies only with you, the people of Kosovo.” We will not engage in mediation. We encourage all political actors in Kosovo to focus on the aspirations of the people of Kosovo.
