Former Dutch ambassador: New Visa Guide Takes More Than a Year

He said it would not happen soon, but it would take at least a year.

I'm surprised at what I saw. What this guide says for visa liberalisation for Kosovo is that new mechanisms are required to meet specific issues as far as visa liberalisation. And it turns out that it will not happen soon within months, but it will take time at least a year or so, unlike what our parliament in the Netherlands has asked for, once again, a final European Commission opinion that Kosovo abolish” visas, he said in Klan Kosova.

Former Ambassador Bosch said there is something irritating him.

“What irritates me the most is that Kosovo was asked to fulfil the condition no other state was given as duty to carry out, no other state. The U Kricana had her visas removed, even though she was not at war at the time, but was an extremely corrupt country, if not the most corrupt country in Europe. It was similar with Moldova. And nobody asked whether they were corrupt or not, he said.
