President Thaci will meet with his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vuciq, while the entire Kosovo delegation is expected to meet with European Union High Representative Federica Moghrini.
Deputy Prime Minister Pacolli, through a Facebook post, has voiced optimism that visa liberalisation is coming to an end.
“Today is a big day for European Kosovo. Unfair isolation for citizens is coming to an end. Today we will receive the positive visa report as the first step towards liberalisation”, Pacolli said.
“Kosovo in the EU and NATO is our shared dream”, he stressed at the end.
The European Commission, after the commissionary College meeting Wednesday, is expected to come up with the announcement that Kosovo has met all conditions from the visa liberalisation dialogue process.
Such a European Commission action had been expected much earlier, especially after the Kosovo Assembly had ratified the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro, which was presented as an additional condition in the process.
But then it turned out that it was not the last condition, because the EU insisted on a report that Kosovo has met the next condition, that of concrete evidence in the fight against organised crime and high-level corruption.
