But the vote in Parliament is insufficient, as the issue is stuck with the European Union Council of Ministers. This, due to concerns some states have voiced about illegal migration and the lack of results in fighting organised crime and corruption, writes Koha Ditore today.

Even the Commissioner for Migration, Dimitris Avramoopoulos, in the debate held the previous day has said that Kosovo deserves liberalisation.
European integration recognition Emrush Ujkan has qualified the impasses in the European Union Council decision making as political.
