Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 17 November 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to assist Kosovo join international institutions; and if he will make a statement.
The UK has led international efforts to secure Kosovo’s membership of international organisations. In consequence Kosovo has become a member of the World Bank (2009), the International Monetary Fund (2009), the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (2012), the Council of Europe Development Bank (2013) and most recently the Venice Commission (2014). The International Olympic Committee have also just granted provisional recognition to Kosovo. This follows lobbying by the UK during the London Olympics for Kosovo to be allowed to participate in the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
