The Commission also took the last step that belongs to the decision-making process and confirmed that Kosovo has met all required criteria and that everything is now in the hands of the European Parliament and member states in the EU Council.

Also through this report, the Commission has confirmed that Kosovo continues to meet the conditions it had met since May 2016, when the Commission had also made conditional recommendation.
The Commission has thus accomplished its part of the job, and now, as far as it is concerned, there are no more technical obstacles in this process.
