Prishtina, 11 November 2026 – Deputy Minister of Economy Getoar Mjeku, together with Chief of Staff Anyla Beqa, welcomed the Managing Director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for Southeast Europe, Grzegorz Zielinski, accompanied by an EBRD delegation.

This was Mr. Zielinski’s first visit to Kosovo since his appointment to this position on 1 June 2026. The meeting served as an important opportunity to discuss energy sector priorities and ways in which the EBRD can continue to support Kosovo in translating these priorities into concrete projects.

During the meeting, the partnership between Kosovo and the EBRD to date was acknowledged, and opportunities for further deepening cooperation on key energy transition projects were discussed.

The EBRD commended the work carried out so far in advancing the integration of renewable energy sources into the energy system and expressed interest in supporting projects related to the design and implementation of renewable energy auctions, with the aim of increasing domestic clean energy generation capacity and strengthening the country’s energy security.

The parties also discussed the implementation of energy efficiency projects and the expansion of financing opportunities for citizens and businesses through credit lines provided in cooperation with local financial institutions. In this context, support for green financing programmes that facilitate investments in clean technologies and energy efficiency measures was also discussed.

Deputy Minister Mjeku thanked the EBRD for its support to Kosovo’s energy sector and emphasised the importance of partnerships with international financial institutions in accelerating the transition to clean energy, increasing energy efficiency and creating new opportunities for sustainable economic development.
Both parties expressed their readiness to cooperate in implementing strategic projects that support Kosovo’s objectives of developing a more sustainable, competitive energy sector that is more integrated with European markets.
