Thaci shows when visas will be lifted, even talks about association

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci said the demarcation vote with Montenegro by Kosovo Parliament deputies is an extraordinary success and Kosovo has met all the conditions it has had for visa liberalisation.

The “now in Kosovo has implemented all the criteria that were set by the European Union, and the fight against corruption has continued and has been proven. Now there is no dilemma, even during the meetings I have had with Commissioner Hahn and Moghrin, it has been confirmed that visa liberalisation will occur during this year”, President Thaci said on the “Monitor” show tonight, of Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK).

He has indicated that Kosovo will move forward even with the establishment of the Association for the Serb majority municipalities.

Kosovo has moved forward and has also witnessed with Prime Minister Haradinaj's decision to move forward for association, while Serbia has remained two issues it has not fulfilled for the bridge and for energy. No dilemma, this is a visa year for Kosovo”, he said.

The country's first estimated that the Association would be founded on the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo and the Constitutional Court's decision. According to him, this association remains in expert competencies. “is a joint process and this will succeed”, he said.

For the arrest of Marko Djuric, the country's first one said relations between the two countries do not break down. “He has violated Kosovo's law, he has received what he has deserved. Even Serbia has realised that Kosovo is state”, he said.

While for the arrest and deportation of six Turkish citizens from Kosovo that sparked reactions, the country's first estimated that Kosovo and Turkey have very good and correct reports. “Turkey is one of the first countries to have recognised Kosovo's independence, has provided much help in membership in international organisations, lobbiing on that. Kosovo is in the process of integrating to U NESTO and INTERPOL. She'll help you. The arrest of six citizens should be viewed as isolated. Kosovo has deported over 300 citizens and all links must be viewed”, he said.

According to him, former Minister Flamur Sefaj and former AKI chief have done good work for the country.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has also talked about representing Kosovo in the international arena. Even Spain is not against Kosovo, but has internal problems. Kosovo is not Catalon. She has been participating against Serbia, even parts of NATO. It's in their autonomous authority. This is true of Greece, Slovakia, and Cyprus. I expect Athens in the near future to make a decision to recognise Kosovo”, he said.

Thaci praised that Kosovo institutions are functioning well.
