Rama, Vuciq and Zaev had signed a statement in Serbia's Novi Sad in October 2019 on the creation of a “mini-Schengeni” among the three countries. An invitation to join the initiative was also sent to Kosovo, Montenegro and Boznja.
As a result of the agreement within this project, by the beginning of this year, from Albania to Serbia and vice versa can only be passed on identity cards.
Kosovo pledged to Washington's agreement to join the <x0mini-Schengen <Schengen” initiative, but Albin Kurti, Kosovo's current prime minister, has since begun positioned himself as a sharp critic of this project. Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani is on the same line.
At the recent summit of Western Balkan leaders in Tirana, Kurti even declared that “mini-Schengeni” no longer exists.
“There is no more mini-Schengen, there is a joint regional market, and the Berlin Process, which will have the next meeting in the first half of July”, Kurti said.
