Thaci: EU has closed doors for Kosovo, that's insulting to us (Video)

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci says the European Union has closed its doors to Kosovo. He says we have met all criteria required by the EU, but for three years we have been waiting for a decision that is not being made.

He has made these comments at the conference The Perspectives and Challenges for the Western Balkans”. Thaci has also talked about dialogue with Serbia, where he said the situation should not remain the status quo, as he risks continuing the frozen conflict with Serbia.

The non-liberalisation of visas is also an insult to the citizens of Kosovo, but it is also prejudgment with other consequences because if people continue to remain so, they will seek alternative, whether in the European umbrella or in the national one, President Thaci has said, Periscopi writes.

At these times when we are marking and commemorating the massacres and genocides that Serbia committed during the war and unfortunately, justice has not been imposed by the international community, that genocide, massacres of ethnic cleansing have remained uncondemned. In the coming days, we also mark the 20th anniversary that we won freedom together with NATO. Although we spent 20 years of a story of Kosovo's full success, we face the important challenge of democratic reforms, legislation, economy and politics. Our ambition is to be part of the European family as soon as possible, we have not yet reached the final peace agreement, which would bring recognition between Kosovo and Serbia. We still don't have UN membership where we have a veto from Russia”, he said.

So we're in a situation, at the status quo that represents danger and reggression for me, and a possibility of continuing the frozen conflict between Kosovo and Serbia and with minimum access to UN membership. For us as leadership, we need to move faster, we have the newest population in Europe, the most pro-American in the world and most pro-NATOs in the region”, he said, following Periscope.

But what's happening is not supposed to happen. Today, the European Union has closed its doors to Kosovo, filled out all visa recommendations for Kosovo. Now the three years have been recommended and there is no decision”, he said. /Periscope.
