Hoxha: Kosovo visa waiver questions EU credibility

Minister of European Integrations, Gift Hoxha, has voiced the credibility of the European Union (BE), following the Council for Stabilisation and Association Agreement and the EU's joint meeting with Kosovo leaders.

In a post in her Facebook profile, she wrote that EU credibility is questioned after the decision not to liberalise visas either this year for Kosovo.

“at the plenary session of the joint SAA Council, the EU-Kosovo, which led Prime Minister Haradinaj and Federika Moghrini, discussed political criteria, economic criteria, implementation of the SAA, and financial co-operation. In my address, I mentioned the fact that Kosovo has met all criteria for visa liberalisation and expressed concern about not making the decision on visa liberalisation, which questions EU credibility and is disappointing for citizens. I also noted the acceleration in implementing comprehensive reforms to meet the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, focusing on implementing the European Reforms Agency”, Hoxha wrote.
