Your ears extended: German Minister Maas gives hope for visa liberalisation

He has clearly expressed that Germany supports visa liberalisation for Kosovars, while stressing that resolving the region's issue through new borders is dangerous and unrealistic.

When we have talked about topics, I know that for Kosovo citizens of importance, visa liberalisation is. I have once again expressed to the president that the German Government's position is clear that Kosovo has met all criteria for liberalisation and that it should be given. It is only a matter of meeting the criteria, but also of keeping the EU in line with the pledge. We during our presidency have put this issue at the top of the agenda during our EU presidency. We'll be engaged in other issues as patent recognition. We're in front of a solution”, he said.

“We also consider the discussion dangerous. I am happy that this will soon be placed in the drawer and part of a debacle report”, has added Maas as he has offered support for Kosovo's new government's pledges of fighting corruption and organised crime. ”
