Bosch has written that even though Kosovo has met the criteria, Varhely has other demands that no other countries have been asked.
Even though Kosovo meets all conditions under the EU commission, this man comes with more demands we have never made for all countries that have received visa freedom in recent years. I really don't know how to achieve justice for Kosovo. Like Congress EP as well as i The PEP in Rotterdam recently demanded that it finally be applied, and then this nonsense of Warhely” is heard, he wrote.
Commissioner Varhely has stated yesterday that they are willing to propose a new roadmap for visa liberalisation for Kosovo to address concerns in certain areas such as fighting crime and corruption.
In these difficult times and in the context of geopolitical changes, our priority remains the Western Balkans”, Varhely said.
We are willing to help Kosovo, together with member states, establish a guide to address specific concerns. Members' authorities, rule and law agencies, police forces need to engage on the ground to help Kosovo. In turn, we are willing to give Kosovo all the financial, technical and political assistance for this process”, he added.
