Who credit for visa liberalisation?

According to the Government's Media Office, liberalisation occurred <x0fal to executive work”, especially in the field of rule of law, the fight against corruption and migration management, unblocking the process and convincing EU institutions and member states that Kosovo deserves the outcome of the visa liberalisation process.

But, unlike the Government, Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani stressed that the “decision is due to the people of Kosovo, the unprecedented determination shown over the years, despite different delays and injustices”.

For the deputy head of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Vlora Citak, liberalisation was achieved for many years late, since according to her, the delays are the “s caused by the false causes of political class exhibitors who are in power today, and others due to EU disregard, the long-standing process of visa liberalisation eventually ended.

While according to Epic Institute Director Demusha Shasha, even if Vetevendosje Movement claim that a remaining criterion was met, the rule of the law still stands at 94 other criteria they have not met, but someone else, (the Albanian Post).

This is a mysterious lack of government generosity. Even if we go to extremes and accept the VV claim that a remaining criterion was met on their part (the rule of law), there are still 94 other criteria they have not met, but someone else. Day like this is supposed to be a shared day and parties to the entire political spectrum. The hand extension burden is every time over the majority”, wrote Shasha on Facebook.

Even the director of the Kosovo Democratic Institute, Ismet Kryeziu, has stressed that “sot at least politicians should talk about Liberalisation of visas and merits on this process”.

“If these politicians were dandyed and didn't seriously hurt democratic values, and their interests and political causes were to turn into a strategy for moving forward and exclusion of violence as part of political action in 2015-2016, visa liberalisation would have happened since then”, he wrote on Facebook.

The European Parliament approved the decision on visa liberalisation for Kosovo citizens on Tuesday, April 18th.

This vote was the final step in proceeding for visa liberalisation.

The approval was made without a vote, as there was no objection.

I have not received any proposals to reject the EU Council of Ministers' stance and no amendment. Therefore, the position of the Council has been adopted and the proposed act” has been adopted, European Parliament Speaker Roberta Metsola said.

On April 19th, the legal act for visa liberalisation is expected to be signed, while the only step that must be taken after that is published in the EU Official Journal and its entry into force.
