The Governor of the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo, Mr. Ahmet Ismaili, accompanied by his team, welcomed for an introductory meeting a delegation from the European Central Bank, comprising Ms. Katalin Polgar, Ms. Julia Doleschel, and Mr. Tomas Slacik, who are on a visiting mission in Kosovo, to assess and discuss the Economic Reform Program 2024.
