European Parliament MP gets good news for Kosovo

Lucas Mandl, European Parliament deputy from the ranks of the Austrian People's Party, has expressed satisfaction with ratification of the agreement by the Kosovo Assembly for demarcation of borders with Montenegro.

In a proposal for Indexline, he said this is a giant step ahead of visa liberalisation, taking the opportunity to congratulate Kosovo on this occasion. According to him, the other condition Kosovo must meet is rule of law and fighting corruption, citing the Special Court as a key aspect.

The key “condition that Kosovo now needs to meet relates to rule of law and a functional jurisdiction, which also accounts for specialised rooms. I understand that public authorities of the Republic of Kosovo that deal with these issues are on the verge of presenting results in this area before the international community. ” is expression in Mandl.

He has stressed that fulfilling these steps requires not only the European Union but also the United States of America.

We should not forget that not only does the European Union require the fulfillment of these steps, but these steps also require the United States of America. Both of us are partners of Kosovo and is not in our interest to have a short-term relationship with short-term interest, but a long-term relationship in the long-term interest of all people involved and future generations of the people of Kosovo, as well as of the EU and the United States. That means true friendship! ”, expression Mandl for Indexline.

The Euro MP has indicated that he is trying to make it up to decisionmakers and lawmakers within the European Union known that Kosovars are against all kinds of extremism, and are trying to fight nationalism. Mandl said they are suggesting that democracy and rule of law are being worked in Kosovo.

I am sharing my experience and my views on Kosovo almost every day in talks and meetings, in order to ensure that other decisionmakers and lawmakers are also aware that the large number of people in Kosovo are completely against all sorts of extremism, but also against nationalism, because they want to fight corruption and organised crime and are working every day to strengthen the Republic of Kosovo, based on democracy and rule of law. ” said in Mandl response.

In the end, the Austrian People's Party deputy said he is also aware of the fact that visa liberalisation would help economic development and deepen citizens' confidence in the new state of Kosovo. Stability that would be in Kosovo's interest not only but also all of Europe.

It is clear that visa liberalisation would also help economic development and deepen confidence in this new state, which is fighting today, but may have a bright future. This bright future and a stable state and society would be in the interest not only of Kosovo, but of all Europe. ” has finished Mandl.

Otherwise, ratification of the border detrading agreement with Montenegro has welcomed the top international leaders, calling it a major step forward.
