Prime Minister Albin Kurti has met with members of the Albanian diaspora in France, discussing ways to increase their involvement in Kosovo’s public and institutional life, as well as opportunities for investment in the country.

Kurti said that greater diaspora participation in Kosovo’s institutions would strengthen them by bringing experience, expertise and a work culture acquired in developed countries.

He also announced support for diaspora entrepreneurs interested in investing in Kosovo through the Diaspora Investment Window, under which the state will guarantee loans taken out for investment projects.

Kurti further highlighted the €1 billion Programme for Production and Industry, which aims to support strategic and priority industrial projects.

The meeting took place on Sunday, ahead of Kurti’s participation in the Paris Peace Forum.
