(7 years ago)As the European Union continues to stall visa liberalisation for Kosovars, citizens are complaining that eventually even the embassies of European states have tightened visa giving for them, making free movement in the area Schengen recently increased citizens' complaints about visa rejection or [...]
More recently, citizens' complaints about visa rejection or short-term visa giving have increased.
Serbian journalist Serbze Hadziaj has mentioned a case for “Zen”, when an embassy had issued only 24-hour visas.
It happened to me once that the German Embassy has issued a 24-hour visa to participate in a war crimes exhibition in Berlin. In return, there were delays in flights, and when I arrived at the Budapest airport in Hungary, I was told you shouldn't let go of the terminal because you don't have a visa. Kosovars have suffered for many years from the visa regime, they have faced many problems and bureaucracy from embassy staff. So there was no ease even for journalists”, she made it known.
According to Hadziaj, for failing to withdraw visas from the European Union, Kosovo citizens are at least at least at least at fault and therefore do not deserve isolation.
“actually the burden of isolation as a result of abuse of power, high corruption and the image of the country being ruled by crime has completely fallen on the shoulders of citizens. Of course, the EU has set criteria such as fighting corruption, but on the other hand it has used double standards by giving visas exactly to people responsible for the situation”, it has stressed.
