Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)A group of Eurodeputs have been addressed through a letter to the Governments of the European Union states, which require visa liberalisation among Kosovo citizens. The letter has been signed by Eurodeputs since years have been reporting for the Western Balkans such as Tanja Fajon, Knut Fleknesten, Eduard Kukan and Monica Macov, Igor Soltes, [...]
The letter was signed by Eurodeputs who have been reporting for the Western Balkans such as Tanja Fajon, Knut Flicknesten, Edward Kukan and Monica Macov, Igor Soltes, etc.
“We encourage European leaders to demonstrate their clear commitment to the whole region's perspective, agreeing to opening negotiations with Skopje and Tirana at the European Council on June 28th and 29th to open new chapters in the ongoing negotiations with Montenegro and Serbia. To implement visa liberalisation with Kosovo. Reform efforts in Bosnia and Herzegovina must also be recognised, depending on the October 7th general elections. The European Union must be a reliable partner because the conditions have been met, as the European Commission and Parliament have assessed”.
Being Eurodeputs that relate to the answer for the countries of the Western Balkans, they stress that the choice of a life of peace and prosperity, led by the legal state by effective democratic institutions, brings together citizens of the 6 Western Balkan countries -- Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia and Northern Macedonia -- as the Eurodeputs write on paper.
“Time has matured for a bold decision that really paves the way for a successful integration of 6 countries and 18 million people living in the Western Balkans”.
They stress that Balkan peoples need a clear sign that the EU supports their efforts to build a modern state with independent institutions, developed economies and solid society. They underline the risk of influence on the Western Balkans of other regions and something they think should not happen.
The signatories of this open letter stress that Europe is not known to disappoint Western Balkan countries.
