The European Parliament's negotiating teams and the chairmanship of the EU Council reached the agreement on the draft rule on visa-free travel for Kosovo passport owners.
Later on January 12th this year's Committee for Civic Freedoms, Justice and Home Affairs, which is also known as the LIBE, the European Parliament, at the point for Kosovo that links with the visa liberalisation process, had voted in overwhelming majority for visa liberalisation.
Meanwhile, on 9 March the European Union's Council of Ministers has approved the decision on visa liberalisation for Kosovo.
The European Parliament's “Commission for Civil Rights, Justice and Home Affairs has finally approved visa liberalisation for Kosovo on 23 March 2023.

EU institutions have agreed that the request not to have visas for Kosovars will be implemented by the starting date of the operation of the European Information and Authorisation System for Travels (ETIAS) and, in any case, not later than January 1st, 2024.
