PSD: Liberalisation is done with lobby, but with fighting corruption

Parliament Speaker Kadri Veselini, along with a delegation with other parliamentary parties, is standing in Vienna to lobby for visa liberalisation for Kosovo citizens, writes Periscopi.

The delegation from Kosovo will be expected at a meeting by Austria's Parliament Speaker Wolfgang Sobotka.

While the LDK has been opposed to Wessel's initiative, and Vetevendosje has said that lobby is not done with people who are corrupt, the Social Democrat Party has said it is not against the lobby, but visa liberalisation is not the issue of lobbiery.

MP PSDA, Frasher Krasniqi, has told Periscope that visa liberalisation is done only by fighting organised crime and corruption.

“We are not against the lobby for visa liberalisation, and we also have our representative in that delegation. However, we think that visa liberalisation for Kosovo is not and has never been a matter of lobby. Thus, liberalisation takes place by taking seriously the fulfilment of EU conditions, such as fighting organised crime and corruption”, Krasniqi has said.

But according to him, the Government of Kosovo has so far had no serious access to this condition for abolishing visas.

The delegation standing in Austria consists of Kadri Veselini, Glauk Konjufca, Aida Drdguti, Teuta Rugova, Evgen Thaci Dragusha, Time Kadriy, Adam Hodza and Fikrim Damka. /Periscopi/
