Thaci speaks after meeting Hahn in Davos: This is the month visa liberalisation for Kosovars

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci says that in June we can have the decision on visa liberalisation, the teachers' strike calls it unacceptable, while demanding that taxes imposed by some government carriers be not misused, Periscope broadcasts.

The president of the Republic of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, has said that Kosovo's 100 per cent tax on products coming from Serbia and Bosnia has been a fair and sincere decision, but that it should not be misused now.

The issue of the 100 per cent tax suspension should be discussed between the Government of Kosovo and the European Union authorities”.

“I hope this situation will be overcome in the near future so that Kosovo will not continue to be perceived as the obstacle to continuing dialogue and as a country that does not respect the rules of dialogue and negotiations”.

I also want to hope that this rigidity will be exceeded in the near future and people will look to the future”.

Serbia has deserved such a fee. Now it shouldn't be misused. But the decision must be made based on state interests. Do not misuse this issue by three-four holders of the Government of Kosovo for other interests, which are at the expense of state interests”.

When the tax is lifted, it's not my decision. I will respect the Kosovo Government's decision”, Thaci said during a direct link by Davosi for the Kosovo Clan.

President Thaci has also talked about the education strike, which according to him is unacceptable since students and family members are mostly being hurt in this process.

This situation is unacceptable, unacceptable, and I invite government and union authorities to sit down and discuss”.

I am convinced that they will find the solution not to hurt students, not to damage this important educational process”.

I learned from my experience that with ultimatum, nothing can be solved. All you need is social dialogue and then there's choice”, Thaci said.

Thaci, has said that at the Davos Economic Forum he met with the Commissioner for Enlargement, Johannes Hahn, and has fallen into common conclusion that Kosovo has met all criteria and standards for removing the visa regime from the European Union.

“With Commissioner Johannes Hahn, we discussed the visa liberalisation issue and it was common conclusion that Kosovo has met all criteria and standards”.

“I want to hope that despite the reservations that some EU member states have, in June we will have the decision by the EU for visa liberalisation for Kosovo”, President Hashim Thaci has said in other ways. /Periscopi
