Hoxha: Hahn has ordered that demarcation be ratified before EU elections

European Integration Minister Litera Hoxha said before members of the Commission for Integration that on her visit to Brussels, she has received clear messages from Commissioner Johannes Hahn that the demarcation agreement with Montenegro be ratified in the Kosovo Assembly, so that the last condition for visa liberalisation can be met.

She even added that Hahn has called for increasing civic pressure on the opposition and the Assembly for ratification of demarcation.

Hoxha added that she also informed him of the new government's steps about demarcation but that their demand has been strict: Procedure of the current agreement in the Assembly and its approval just before the elections.

Hoxha also spoke of implementing the SAA, where she said there is progress in this direction since for two years they have managed to implement 34 per cent and seeing that SAA implementation has ten years of time then cannot say there is no progress.

But it does seem that they can do more in this regard.

While MP Ilir Deda stressed that if they want to get visa liberalisation ahead of new elections in the EU, ratification of the demarcation agreement is urgently needed because they have two months left.

While AAK deputy Ahmet Isufi said civic pressure has raised doubts that the agreement is harmful.

LDK MP Armend Zemaj received criticism, saying that so far no law about the European agenda has been adopted.

According to him, only 4 laws have been adopted by 34. Zemaj stressed that they are far away on the integration path.
