Doris Pack: Kosovo must liberalise visas, not give up

This is embarrassing, but I feel ashamed, and the European Commission and Parliament are pro-visa liberalisation for a long time and Kosovo has done everything that has been asked. The last thing I had to do was demarket the territory with Montenegro, did it and then nothing happened and that's a shame”.

“Acting this way on the EU is losing credibility, so I think Angela Merkel has realized that the Balkans have been neglected, so in 2015 it started with the Balkan Summit, but the problem is that the results of this summit are never put to place by the governments of the countries in the region”, Pack has said, says Klan Kosova.

“I have the impression that at least approach to the Balkans is closer too, because we see that there are other forces working in the region, if you see how the Chinese are entering this region or what Russia is doing, and even Turkey is like these countries lie between the European Union and we need them, because it's our European legacy and I can't understand how we lost so much time, I was hopeful at the end of 90-vex1>, she said in Kosovo.

Pack has said Kosovo should not give up the visa liberalisation requirement.

“Pica first visa liberalisation must definitely happen and I think that if my party wins again, Mr. Lashet knows the situation and he is listening and will go the way that Angela Merkel. I'm sure and I don't know who the coalition partner will be, but I think it will be in their interest to find a solution for this region and be really committed to solving problems. We can't solve, politicians can do it”.
