Turkish parliament speaker meets Kosovar president and parliament speaker

Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek held meetings with Kosovo's President Atifete Jahjaga and Speaker of the Parliament Jakup Krasniqi in Pristina on Wednesday.

Cicek told reporters that Turkey had always supported Kosovo on every platform to help this country reach the place it deserved in international community.

Noting that Turkey was one of the first countries which recognized the independence of Kosovo, Cicek said that besides political support, Turkey was exerting efforts for development of Kosovo in economic and commercial aspects.

Meanwhile, Kosovar Parliament Speaker Krasniqi said that the cooperation between parliaments of the two countries were perfect.

Noting that the relations between Turkey and Kosovo were on good level in every aspect, Krasniqi said that Turkey had been exerting efforts for recognition of Kosovo especially by Arab countries, adding that those efforts were yielding concrete results recently.

We hope Turkish investments in Kosovo as well as presence of Kosovar businessmen in Turkey would increase, Krasniqi said.
