SHSP becomes a new observer at CESI

At its meeting in June, the Board of CESI approved the application of the Kosovo Post Trade Union Association (SHSP) to become a new observer at CESI.

Founded in 2021, the SHSP organises workers in the Kosovo postal services sector and is the biggest union of employees in the Posta e Kosovës, the company responsible for postal service in Kosovo.

CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: “I am glad that the SHSP will anchor its pro-European commitment and trade union engagement within CESI. Their membership as observer will come to the mutual benefit of both CESI and SHSP. CESI benefits from further expertise in postal sector unionism and presence in the Balkan region. For the SHSP, access to CESI and its large network of likeminded unions across Europe, in particular in the different fields and layers of the public services, will help SHSP approach existing challenges of workers in Kosovo for its members. We look forward to our future collaboration.”
