Europe Day (Kosovo)

Europe Day is a public holiday in Kosovo, observed on May 9.

Europe Day commemorates the Schuman Declaration, a famous speech made by French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs Robert Schuman on May 9, 1950. The Declaration proposed integrating French and West German coal and steel under a single authority to prevent future conflicts. It led to the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951.

The Schuman Declaration was the first step for European countries to cooperate after World War II. It was considered the foundation for the later European Union, which was formed on November 1, 1993.
