Taoiseach on a two-day visit to the Western Balkans.
Taoiseach ar cuairt dhá lá chuig Iarthar na mBalcán.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is in Kosovo today for talks about that country's application for membership in the European Union.
Tá an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar sa Chosaiv inniu le haghaidh comhráite faoin iarratas atá déanta ag an tír sin ar bhallraíocht san Aontas Eorpach.
The Taoiseach is discussing the issue with Kosovo's political leaders in the capital Pristina as part of a two-day visit to three countries in the Western Balkans.
Tá an Taoiseach ag plé na ceiste le ceannairí polaitiúla na Cosaive sa phríomhchathair Pristine mar chuid de chuairt dhá lá atá sé a thabhairt ar thrí thír in Iarthar na mBalcán.
Tomorrow, the Taoiseach will go to Podgairítse, the capital of Montenegro, and after that to Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, where he will have conversations with politicians in those two countries about their application for membership in the European Union.
Amárach, rachaidh an Taoiseach go dtí Podgairítse, príomhchathair Mhontainéagró, agus ina dhiaidh sin go dtí Scóipé, príomhchathair na Macadóine Thuaidh, mar a mbeidh comhráite aige le polaiteoirí sa dá thír sin faoin iarratas atá déanta acu féin ar bhallraíocht san Aontas Eorpach.
Matters of peace and security in the region will also be discussed in the joint talks, especially in light of the war in Ukraine.
Beidh cúrsaí síochána agus slándála sa réigiún faoi chaibidil sna comhchainteanna freisin, go háirithe i bhfianaise an chogaidh san Úcráin.
This afternoon, the Taoiseach will visit the thirteen members of the Defense Forces who are stationed in Pristina as part of an international peacekeeping mission in Kosovo led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Tráthnóna inniu, rachaidh an Taoiseach ar cuairt chuig na trí chomhalta dhéag d'Óglaigh na hÉireann atá ar fiannas i bPristine mar chuid de mhisean idirnáisiúnta síochánaíochta sa Chosaiv a bhfuil Eagraíocht Chonradh an Atlantaigh Thuaidh ina cheann.
Leo Varadkar will also speak to members of the Garda Síochána who are on duty in Kosovo as part of the European Union's 'rule of law' mission.
Labhróidh Leo Varadkar freisin le comhaltaí den Gharda Síochána atá ar fiannas sa Chosaiv mar chuid de mhisean 'riail an dlí' an Aontais Eorpaigh.
The Irish Government is in favor of granting membership of the European Union to Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia, and the Taoiseach will be advising the politicians of those countries on the best way to speed up the process.
Tá Rialtas na hÉireann i bhfabhar ballraíocht san Aontas Eorpach a lamháil don Chosaiv, do Mhontainéagró agus don Mhacadóin Thuaidh, agus beidh an Taoiseach ag cur comhairle ar pholaiteoirí na dtíortha sin faoin dóigh is fearr le dlús a chur leis an bpróiseas.
He will be recommending them, above all, to amend and improve their governance policies.
Beidh sé ag moladh dóibh, thar aon ní eile, a gcuid polasaithe rialachais a leasú agus a fheabhsú.
