They shared the view that the upcoming local elections in Kosovo would be an important test for the respect for talks between Prishtina and Belgrade.

Pahor reiterated that Slovenia supported Kosovo's efforts to enter the EU. He believes that the main job of Kosovo's government was to strengthen institutions and establish the rule of law.

Earlier in the day Pahor visited the Slovenian troops stationed in Kosovo as part of the KFOR mission and met Samuel Žbogar, international community's high representative in Kosovo.

Žbogar informed Pahor about EU's activities in Kosovo, especially as regards the organisation of local elections and resolving topical issues.

The president moreover met Slovenian police officers working in Kosovo as part of EULEX mission.
