The Council of Ministers despairs Kosovo: No visas, taxes lifted immediately

The decision regarding the visa liberalisation proposal is currently being considered by the Council”, while “closure without further delay in the agreement with Serbia, with the ease of the High Representative, is essential for Kosovo and Serbia to move on the respective European path”.

”

These are the main points of the Council of Ministers of the European Union that will be approved at today's meeting, and which Klan Kosova has provided in its entirety.

They convey the worst signals for Kosovo since they were given for the first time.

Hard, clear and disturbing, they must be alarm sirens for the government because in their capacity it is described by the demand to do actions differently than they are currently becoming.

At thirteen of the 14 points which the Council has approved, change is required either a new dynamic or a position other than the one currently holds by the Government of Kosovo. So it is required that the Government of Kosovo address problems differently.

The Council of Ministers' criticisms are especially severe for the tax on products originating from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, on employing people with criminal precedents (and sentenced for war crimes), for non-invention of association, for not getting into Mitrovica Bridge, and the way the Special Court is being treated.

But for the Government of Kosovo, the hardest part should be at the last point, which talks about visa liberalisation for the country's citizens, which concludes with the sentence that this decision is still under consideration.

As it has become clear, in terms of the tax the demand is steadfast -- it is not in spiritual and is hampering regional co-operation, and therefore dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.

The Council's concerts address the criticism, which so far has been done to this government by civil society, the lack of commitment to tackling organised crime and corruption. The Council remains concerned about political interference in the undeserved appointments and regrets the appointment of people convicted of war crimes to such positions, which is contrary to European values”.

Good words are about adopting some important laws, but that need to be stated.

Addressing numerous criticisms in the implementation of the part for Kosovo, the Concluses of the Council of Ministers of the European Union voice the EU's disagreement over the road and ways Kosovo is using, as a warning of the position to be held on issues related to the country's European agenda.
