Michael Moore MP discusses security and development in Kosovo
In July, Saferworld accompanied the Liberal Democrat Shadow Secretary for International Development, Michael Moore MP, on a trip to Kosovo to see for himself the development and security issues facing the country.
During
his stay, Mr Moore met parliamentarians from across the political spectrum, several key ministers and representatives from local civil society. The Shadow Secretary discussed the role of
MPs in providing oversight on security issues with the Kosovo Assembly's Security
and Internal Affairs Committee. He also visited the Trepca Mine Complex
and Kosovo B Power Station, both examples of long-term challenges for Kosovo's
development.
We took Mr Moore to some of our community safety projects
where he met local partners the Forum for Civic Initiatives, Initiative for
Progress and Communication for Social Development.
"We were keen for Mr Moore to hear the concerns, hopes and fears of people in Kosovo," says Mia Marzouk , Europe Team Leader. "We hope Mr Moore is able to feed these views directly into the debate on Kosovo back in the UK."
