Kurti: No visa liberalisation without fighting crime and corruption

The Vetevendosje movement has held a media conference regarding the prosecution of the Demarketing Agreement.

VV chairman Albin Kurti has said ratification of this agreement will not bring visa liberalisation, so according to him, it should not be hasty to vote a harmful deal on the country, Periscope reports.

This agreement in Kosovo is being interpreted as the price for visa liberalisation for citizens of the Republic of Kosovo, but there are many internal procedures in the European Union for visa liberalisation. The European Commission, then the Council of the European Union, then the European Parliament, and then the justice and interior ministers of the European Union member states. That's why the question is, why all this Thaci and Haradinaj rush with the demarcation. Liberalisation will not come next week, nor will it come next month, nor will it be next time of at least”, Kurti said.

He has said that for visa liberalisation the condition I alone is not demarcation but the real fight against organised crime and corruption. So he said it's better to deal with the latter first, and have time to deal with Montenegro on the border issue.

Kurti said that immediately after the ratification of international demarcation, internationals will strongly seek to fight crime and corruption, and that will not be done because these governments will not fight themselves.
