Kosovo signing Stabilization, Association Agreement with EU October 27, 2015 - 13:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Kosovo is signing a Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Union, a historic milestone that will help the economic growth of one of Europe's poorest countries, the Associated Press. The deal opens the way to eventual full membership into the EU, Kosovo's main trading partner. European Integration Minister Bekim Collaku says the agreement marks a "new milestone because it establishes contractual relations between the Republic of Kosovo and the EU." The EU has been Kosovo's main supporter with about 1.3 billion euros (some $1.4 billion) in development aid for 2007-2020, according to Thomas Gnocchi of the EU office in Kosovo. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008 and has been recognized by more than 100 countries. Five EU member countries that do not recognize it have, nevertheless, approved the agreement. The signing ceremony has not yet taken place.  Top stories Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
