Fear that visas will not be in EU agenda

The visa liberalisation issue is not expected to be on the agenda of the European Union's Council of Interior and Justice Ministers, which is held on December 6th and 7th. This is said by EU diplomatic sources in Brussels.

According to this diplomatic source of a European bloc member state in Brussels, he told of dtt-net.com that in the draft agenda of the December 6th and 7th meeting of justice and interior ministers the issue of visa removal for Kosovo does not figure.

European Integration Minister Gifts Hoxha has told the news.net that she is asking the Austrian presidency to join the visa liberalisation agenda.

Hoxha also explains that before joining the Council of Ministers' Agency, the issue must be passed to the COREPER level, where member states are represented at the level of permanent ambassadors in Brussels.

According to her, deployment should be done once at COREPER, voted there, and then can be passed to the Council of Ministers.

“The question of getting into the visa liberalisation agenda is something we're looking for by the Austrian presidency. But before joining the Council of Ministers' Agency, the issue must be moved to the COREPER level, where member states are represented at the level of permanent ambassadors in Brussels. So putting in the agenda should be done once in COREPER, voting there, and then you can switch to the Council of Ministers. We are constantly seeking to enter the agenda by the Austrian presidency”, Minister Hoxha has said.
