Wessel ignores the report's findings: We've met all visa criteria

Wessel has thanked Apostolova for handing over the report, stressing that through this report, the European Union praised Kosovo's achievements in many important areas and reaffirmed Kosovo's safe European perspective.

Wessel has also said that Kosovo citizens and institutions believe in the European Union project and are constantly working to meet the necessary criteria so that Kosovo can become part of the European family as soon as possible.

The head of the Kosovo Assembly has also stressed that Kosovo institutions have already met all criteria for visa liberalisation and voiced conviction that during this year relevant European Union institutions will make the necessary decisions to enable free and visa free movement for Kosovo citizens in the Schengen Zone.

Chief Parliamentary Veselin has pledged that all findings of the report will be addressed in time, and the country's institutions will continue the course of needed reforms.

Kosovo's “Institutions will address the challenges that have been identified in the European Commission report, as we alone strengthen and build the European future for our citizens”, Wessel stressed, said in the media communiqué.
