Even bad news from the EU for visas: In June it is not expected to be in order of day

There are various expectations in Kosovo regarding the visa liberalisation process. Until Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj expresses enthusiastic that such a thing will happen quickly and congratulate citizens, Republic of Kosovo President Hashim Thaci is highly sceptical that such a thing can happen, indicating that during the [...] stay.
But beyond these expectations of the state leaders, from the European Union confirms that visa removal for Kosovars is not expected to occur, at least within a short deadline, which included even June.
In a response to Express, a senior EU official has said visa liberalisation for Kosovars will not be the subject of discussions at meetings the European Council will hold during June.
The visa liberalisation theme is not expected to be on the agenda of the Council for Internal Affairs meetings and the European Council, which will be held in June”, this senior EU official has said.
Meanwhile, asked whether any positive decisions could be expected for Kosovars to move freely this summer to the Schengen area, this official has said he cannot speculate when such a decision can be made.
“It's not up to me to speculate when a decision can be made on this matter”, it says in response.
The fact that a visa liberalisation decision is not expected by the EU in June of this year also rejects calculations about whether there could be a positive decision before the Paris Summit in exchange for lifting the tax decision on Serbian and Bosnian products (which former American diplomat Daniel Serer has spoken of)
In addition, not making any decision in June will cause the process to be postponed even more, since the visa liberalisation subject currently located in the hands of Romania's Permanent Representative to the EU will be passed to Finland.
This will cause the process again to undergo technical procedures within Finland's permanent representation of the European Union, which may again cause delay.
In addition, delays will cause domestic elections expected to be held in all European Union institutions, where new institutions will not have until September or October 2019.
Germany, meanwhile, is the only state that has emerged openly in support of visa liberalisation for citizens of the Republic of Kosovo. The prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, has said that after his meeting with Germany's interior minister in Berlin, Horst Seehoher, in Berlin a day after the April 29th summit.
However, one of the largest states in Europe, France, is not in favour of Kosovo in terms of visa liberalisation for Kosovo.
Thus has France's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who has concluded that Kosovo has not yet met the conditions for visa liberalisation, citing the fight against organised crime and corruption here.
“France, along with several other member states, believes conditions have not been met at this stage. A progress has been made only recently in the area of rule of law, but not enough to stop corruption. Hence, continuing reforms is necessary to have tangible results in rule of law and in fighting organised crime. The recently adopted laws must be implemented quickly” has the French ministry.
If a large state like Frana opposes visa liberalisation, then the chances of Kosovo receiving liberalisation are extremely small. If France doesn't vote for, then even if they vote éprofe all states that have not recognised Kosovo and are in Schengen, there will still not be enough votes to pass visa liberalisation for Kosovo.
And that is why EU states are not united over the issue of visa liberalisation for Kosovo, President Hashim Thaci has spoken, who says such a thing has been smelled at the Berlin Summit.
At the same time, he has expressed frustration with such an EU position, saying Kosovars have been repeatedly deceived, citing the ratification of demarcation with Montenegro as compromise for visa liberalisation.
Kosovo has met all criteria required for visa liberalisation, and this issue has already remained under the mercy of the European Union's internal policy. Citizens of the Republic of Kosovo are the only ones in the Balkans who have no right to move freely through Schengen countries.
