Republic of Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has acknowledged the fact that Kosovo has much more work to do, given the latest Progress Report that was published by the EC today.
However, Haradinaj describes this report as the most positive Kosovo has had in recent years, writes Periscopi.
In his response Haradinaj has counted and several points in which progress has been noted.
But unlike Haradinaj, political analysts and connoisseur have named this report extremely negative:
Haradinaj's full response:
The government of Kosovo has analysed the EU's regular report on the Republic of Kosovo published today before widespread opinion. The report in question reflects our country's stage in relation to Kosovo's full EU membership. In this context, the report is an indication that Kosovo as a whole has much work to do to full membership, while in particular reflects the hard work and great progress that has been achieved in the last year. This report is the most positive report of Kor after Kosovo in recent years, whether it requires concrete achievements or trends in the function of advancing processes. Progress has been reported on:
Qaeda of law and the fight against organised crime and corruption, especially in targeting high-level organised crime and corruption cases;
Progress is also noted in asset sequencing and in measures to prevent extremism and radicalism;
Very good results in economic development;
The vote in the Parliament on Ratification of the International Agreement for Border Demarcation with the Republic of Montenegro;
Preparations in the Public Administration Reform and launching reforms in public administration;
efforts to normalise relations and resume dialogue with Serbia;
Integration of Serbian judges and prosecutors in Kosovo's justice system is estimated to be a huge achievement of 2017;
Progress in regular and illegal migration management, as well as many other areas.
Kosovo has no dilemma for its path to the EU, despite the fact that in the EU they are divided as regards Kosovo's integration into the European family. The progress mentioned in this report is clear evidence that all criteria for visa liberalisation have been met. Although the progress report is not the proper mechanism for evaluating the final fulfillment of the criteria, delays in visa liberalisation can no longer be reasoned with no meeting of criteria. Kosovo has done its job. Rightly, Kosovo expects the EU now to recognise this progress and relevan mechanisms to give the green light for visa liberalisation as soon as possible
Despite that, we are faced with other major challenges to improve the lives of the country's citizens, many jobs await us, for which the government of the country is dedicated to carrying out, our aspirations, a democratic and integrated society. The challenges mentioned in the report, the Kosovo government will identify and work to overcome these as soon as possible.
