Again a desperate visa news

EU Office chief Natalia Apostolova has started meetings with representatives of parliamentary groups and parliamentary commissions.

Apostolova first met with the Democratic Party of Kosovo parliamentary group. She said they are aware of the difficulties Kosovo is facing, but that the time has come for full attention to turn to implementing the conditions for visa liberalisation.

According to her, the EU remains determined that Kosovo also has two criteria without meeting on this issue. That in response to MP's statements, Nat Hasani, that these conditions are unfair.

“Demarquement and fighting corruption will remain a condition for visa liberalisation and will help meet these conditions. We're here with both conditions and that's the truth and to get away from the controversy we're going to be here to help you meet these” conditions.

MP The PDK, Nat Hasani, said conditions set by the EU for liberalisation and fighting corruption are unfair. He said fighting corruption should be permanent for every state.

“The EU has granted liberalisation to Ukraine, which is in direct combat with Russia. The EU has not solved a problem under these conditions, but has added one more. We are willing to cooperate, but I think removing these conditions means opening up the European perspective”.

Hasan has added that this isolation is costing our families, even taking the example of state that has received liberalisation as having interstate conflicts.

Why only Kosovo have you given the demarcation condition tomorrow and we resolve with Montenegro. Tomorrow you will also ask for demarcation with Serbia. Why this condition? We're family with Black Mountain. We've met all the conditions why the demarcation has increased. Ukraine has no demarcation. With Russia, but the EU has given it liberalisation. The demarcation condition is political condition”.

PDK parliamentary group chief Memli Krasniqi said the European integration agenda will be the priority of this party, and especially now when this party heads the commission for European integration, EO reports.

“We have the satisfaction of having the first appointment. We are glad that we lead the Commission for European Integrations after it plays an important role in implementing the agenda for European integration. For us the European agenda remains a priority, we are aware of the delays they have made and played a role in the delay. But we have testified with the readiness of the entire Kosovo assembly to ratify the IPA2017 agreement. We will find the opportunity to have a consensus on as broad a consensus between groups as possible because for the European agenda remains a priority on priorities”.

Commission for European Integration Chairman Blerta Deliu-Codra announced the priorities the commission it heads has for implementing the conditions of European integrations, EO reports.

The “is true that we have had three months delay in the institution, but I promise that we will meet any criteria that will match the integration processes”, she said.

The purpose of the meetings is to understand the priorities of the new composition of the Assembly, inform MPs with EU priorities for the coming period, and discuss ways the EU in Kosovo can support MPs in implementing reforms that concern the European agenda.
