Omer Kosumi from the student movement “We study Critics Action”, said Kosovo has met the criteria and the EU must fulfil its obligations to abolish the country's visa regime.
The aim of this symbolic action is to express the students' anger and dissatisfaction over their visa liberalisation as one of the most affected categories. We through this symbolic action express our concern for continued discrimination and denial of the right to study everywhere in the EU, compared to other member states, or the region that enjoy fair”, he said.
He added that the lack of visa liberalisation also means denial of diversity by the EU.
“Do not liberalise visas for Kosovo also mean denial of diversity, making it impossible for Kosovo students to become part of European youth with different, philosophical, moral, racial, racial and intellectual views... We demand that the EU treat us equally first and then help us progress by making us part of”, Kosumi stressed.
Kosovo has met the European Union's criteria for visa liberalisation in 2018. Green light has been given by the European Parliament and the European Commission, but the question that several years remain in the EU Council of Ministers. Among the sceptical countries for visa liberalisation for Kosovo citizens are France and the Netherlands.
