He said it's a job done in Slovenia, but Macron deposed Albin Kurtin on visa issue.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti in Bled, Slovenia, has indicated on Sunday evening that Kosovo citizens will move without visas from January 1st to 2024.

So has the Kosovo prime minister's office announced through a communique for the media, where it has announced the participation of Prime Minister Kurti at the dinner of the work invited by Slovenia's prime minister, Golob, within the framework of the Bled Forum.

The prime minister stressed the importance of implementing the agreements reached last year in the Berlin Process, where he singled out freedom of movement. On January 1st, 2024 all citizens of the Republic of Kosovo will move visa-free to European Union countries While you will be required visas for Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the remaining 50 days before the summit in Tirana, it is important to begin full implementation of the three agreements we have signed in Berlin”, the government communiqué says.

But a few hours later, France's President Emmanuel Macron speaking to ambassadors for relations between Kosovo and Serbia said they expect Kosovo and Serbia to have a clear commitment to the road ahead.

In fact, the French president warned measures if both countries “do not act responsibly”, citing even visa liberalisation for Kosovo.

We expect peace to return to this part. France and Germany have made vows in terms of Visa policies And other economic issues, which will be revised if the two sides fail to take responsibility. We should be extremely careful in this regard, especially when the stability of the Western Balkans is at stake.”, Macron said.

Although Prime Minister Albin Kurti in Slovenia presented visa-free travel to the EU's citizens as work, the French president hinted that this is a “issue that can be revised”.

The opposition has said France's president's statements should be taken seriously by the government.

PDK Deputy Chairman Vlora Citaku has stressed that France's President Emmanuel Macron's statement reconfirms the position of the European Union, adding that it is time to take concrete measures to resolve the conflict in the region.

Citaku has stressed the importance of this statement and has said the Government of Kosovo should seriously address it.

President Macro's “Declaration to review visa policies for Kosovo and Serbia, if the parties do not act responsibly, should be taken seriously by the Government. This statement reconfirms the position of the EU, that the time of words and counsel has already passed”, it has written on the social network, Facebook.

LDK MP Gerarta Krasniqi has reacted to the French president's statement, saying it is a disaster if the EU countries' position on the visa issue is considered.

“It is a disaster for the country if we arrive at such a situation for the EU countries' position in terms of visa liberalisation for the country, but if that happens, the responsibility falls to the Kurti government, which with its adventures, is only bringing bad things to the country, as we have so far the sanctions, as a result of packaged and well thought-out actions in the northern part of the country. I reiterated, it is tremendous damage if such an opinion is created within EU countries that there be delays on the visa liberalisation issue”, she has said in a statement to Gazeta Blic.

More than a month ago, the European Union has imposed punitive measures on Kosovo due to its non-submission to the country's north.

These measures include the temporary suspension of the work of troops created under the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, Kosovo's failure to meet high and the suspension of bilateral visits.

Also the next move is to halt the Kosovo funding programme from IPA 2024, as well as suspend proposals submitted by Kosovo within the framework of the Western Balkans' investment framework.

Also, Kosovo has remained outside the Digital European Programme, where all other Western Balkan states will be assisted by the EU on the issue.

Until yesterday, the issue of visa liberalism for Kosovo has not been mentioned as a punitive measure, expected to go into effect by January 1st 2024. /Periscope.
