“We can confirm that Kosovo has met all conditions for visa liberalisation. It has not been easy for Kosovo institutions. Political determination paid off for Kosovo”, he said.
Avramoopoulos said demarcation has been an important step towards the visa liberalisation process. And he also said that Kosovo has met the criteria for fighting crime and corruption.
The ratification of the agreement for demarcation has been an important step for visa liberalisation. Kosovo has met the conditions in fighting organised crime and corruption. Kosovo has met all the visa guide criteria. The European Council and Parliament are now left to approve the 2016” proposal, he said.
He did not overlook the obligations that come with this process, ordering that it be not misused.
I say: liberalisation comes with rights and obligations. We also have the mechanism for suspension of visa liberalisation, and this applies to Kosovo if it is misused. This is a start for closer co-operation between Kosovo and the EU in all aspects”, he said. /Periscopi/
