Holland and France: Kosovo has not met conditions for visa liberalisation

They have been mentioned many times over the past 10 years, as well as champagne for visa liberalisation opened, which does not seem too close to happening in view of the clear opposition of France and the Netherlands.

Klan Kosova has secured a letter the Dutch government has sent to several euro-deputees with the reasoning of the rejection of visa removal for Kosovo.

Meanwhile, France continues to maintain its attitude

France and Holland's opposition to visa liberalisation towards Kosovo was clarified on Monday by Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Dutch diplomacy chief Steff Block wrote letters to a group of European Parliament deputies, who had requested free movement for Kosovars.

In the document provided by Klan Kosova, it is said that the Netherlands Kingdom understands the people's desire to travel to the EU, but according to Block, is a mountain of tasks that, according to him, must be carried out by Kosovo institutions.

The European Council has not yet made a decision on liberalising Kosovo, creating the list from this country of cases being investigated, and final judgments in cases involving organised crime and corruption remain important, since these are key to the” standards, it is said among other things in this letter.

In addition, this letter raised concerns about migration and, in particular, strengthening the rule of law.

While France has clearly said that Kosovo has not yet met the criteria for visa liberalisation.

France's ambassador to Kosovo has said that this state, along with several other member states, believes Kosovo has not yet met all conditions in this phase.
