Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)The president of the Republic of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, has spoken at the conference together with European Commission Commissioner Dimitri Avramopolus, saying today's EC decision on positive visa recommendation is news that has been hosted for decades by Kosovars, writes Periscopi. According to Thaci in this process, Kosovo and the Union are winning [...]
According to Thaci in this process, Kosovo and the European Union are winning.
He has said that the EC confirmation, that Kosovo has met the conditions for visa liberalisation, is thanks to the hard work done by Kosovo institutions, and is not a gift.
Thaci's word:
I want to express my hospitality on my own and on behalf of Kosovo
I am very happy to be together for this big decision for Kosovo.
Today's EC decision to show that Kosovo has fulfilled the criteria is one of the best news for Kosovo citizens who have been waiting for decades.
I express my gratitude for all our support in walking for the last few miles,
But I might point out that the last few miles have been too long.
But I'm sorry we've reached the goal, and I'm convinced that very soon the moment will come when citizens will move without visas by the end of this year.
Today the collapse of the last wall of isolation of an entire European society has begun.
Today he is the winner of Kosovo, and the European Union.
Today's story completes a very important cycle.
And today we have full reconciliation with our partners and the European Commission.
This was, not a gift, but an appreciation for our work together.
Thanks to the entire political spectrum in Kosovo and the opposition and past governments, and to all institutions for the continued contribution to this process.
Only united have we achieved this goal, and united we will achieve our goals.
Visa liberalisation will enable freedom of movement for Kosovo citizens, but also for movement of goods
Today's decision will be delayed by our work, and in delaying numerous reforms.
Kosovo is an EU partner in addressing all common challenges, and all the challenges we have common interest in.
We are willing to make quick decisions, to complete the prolonged isolation of Kosovo citizens, as the country in the Balkans.
Independent institutions in Kosovo will continue the work of having as many arguments as possible in bringing member states. /Periscopi/
