She also stressed that it would be most important for improvement of the quality of life of citizens.
Ashton told that the dialogue, which should begin after the completion of election-related procedures, was undoubtedly very important, but added, however, that sound elections in Kosovo were important as well.
She added that Kosovo citizens could expect the EU to further their European perspectives in 2011.
"We are hoping that we can also start a dialogue about visas, participation in European programs and strengthening of trade relations. But this also very much depends on Kosovo," the EU high representative stressed.
