Periskopi(4 years ago)
(4 years ago)German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has spoken of unfulfilled promises to the Western Balkans even during his visit to Ukraine at the media conference with President Zelensky, France's President Emmanuel Macron, Italy's Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Romania's President Klaus Iohannis. Promises to the Balkans include the visa issue for Kosovo, which is already expected [...]
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.
It seems that the EU's triple -- Germany, France and Italy -- are ready to grant the candidate country's status to Ukraine with a decision that could be made on June 23rd when the EU chiefs are meeting. This very day will be crucial to Kosovo as far as visa liberalisation is concerned, if the consensus of the 27 member states is reached. Chancellor Scholz has taken care of the Macroni mention, so far he is reluctant to lift visas for Kosovo.
Scholz has said promises to the Balkan countries should be kept.
It is the issue of European credibility that should eventually fulfill our promises to the Western Balkan countries, which for years have been on this road; now and specifically”, Scholz said during the conference.
