The United Kingdom welcomed Ambassador Gerard McGurk’s report on the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, praising its sustained work on democratic processes and community engagement. The UK highlighted the mission’s support for free, fair and credible elections, the strengthening of the rule of law, protection of community rights and promotion of accountability across Kosovo. It urged Kosovo’s political parties to collaborate constructively to restore institutional stability and public confidence amid repeated electoral cycles and political uncertainty. The UK welcomed the peaceful return of Kosovo‑Serb mayors to northern municipalities after the October local elections and encouraged practical governance. It also expressed concern over the lack of normalisation between Kosovo and Serbia, calling for justice in recent attacks and urging both sides to refrain from rhetoric that could erode trust. Finally, the UK welcomed the 2026 Unified Budget agreement, noting its importance for planning and delivery.
