At today's plenary session of the European Parliament, he has said Kosovo must complete the composition of Kosovo's new institutions as soon as possible. Further he has given [...]
Furthermore, he has delivered three messages for Kosovo.
Kosovo's “citizens have made their voices heard through elections, and a new leadership will soon be in place. There are three main messages I want to make. The first, which is essential, to be completed as soon as possible in the composition of new Kosovo institutions. After the formation of the Parliament and Government, Kosovo must also elect the new president without delay. Kosovo cannot afford more political uncertainty in these challenging times”, Warhely has said.
He has also said it is essential to continue the Kosovo dialogue, Serbia.
It is essential that the new government continue the dialogue. It is the key for citizens of the two countries, normalising relations between the two countries, and the perspective of the two countries. Emisari for dialogue Miroslav Lajcak expects the next meeting to be held within a reasonable time”, Varhely said.
Varhely has also talked about the issue of visa liberalisation for Kosovars.
He has said he agrees with the European Parliament that it is time to proceed with visa liberalisation of Kosovo citizens.
The “Commission agrees with Parliament that it is time to proceed with visa liberalisation of Kosovo citizens, but you know that the decision must be made by member states on the Council. I encourage Kosovo authorities to talk with member states to address their remaining concerns. There are critical moments for Kosovo”, Varhely has said.
