There is also something positive about Kosovo by former Kosovo diplomat Petrit Selimi.
He said this could help Brussels liberalise Kosovars' visas, and for that he also gave a date, from which he thinks citizens can move freely.
This will help Kosovo obtain visa liberalisation. Brussels people do not want to arouse hope in Kosovo after so many years of disappointment, but the expectation is that the Kosovo passport can become valid to enter the whole EU without visas as of January 1st, 2023”.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has spoken of unfulfilled promises to the Western Balkans during yesterday's visit to Ukraine at the media conference with President Volodymyr Zelensky, France's President Emmanuel Macron, Italy Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Romania's President Klaus Iohannis.
Promises to the Balkans also include the visa issue for Kosovo, which is already expected to have concrete discussions in Brussels, but is still unclear whether reconciliation can be reached.
On the other hand, the country's president, Vjosa Osmani, at the joint media conference she had in Pristina with European Council President Charles Michel, said they are in contact with all member states on the issue and that they have not yet received final answers from certain states. For June 23rd as the date when this decision can be made, Osman said whether it happens or not depends on the will of the countries.
