She at the Commission for European Integration said she has information that the removal of the measures is not recommended in Borrell's report.
“Which projects are suspended? So far we haven't got answers. With us counting the amount of projects that have been suspended as the cause of EU measures. Now what's going on because we don't even have a” information, she asked.
Bislimi has said that neither a project that is under way has been suspended from the measures imposed on Kosovo.
He has said that the EU has initially put measures unilaterally on Kosovo for the crossings that Serbia has caused, he has added that the EU has demonstrated an partiality in this process by not imposing measures on Serbia as well.
“They have imposed four types of measures, suspension of the implementation bodies of association stabilisation agreements, IPA's 2024 work has been suspended, and it is said that Kosovo will not be invited to high meetings. Neither has an EU project been suspended. What has happened is that IPA 2022 projects have been postponed until the removal of measures. IPA 2022 is not damaged because it has a deadline. IPA 2024 is being discussed in the EU, but it cannot be approved until Kosovo is under”, he said.
The report had to be delivered by the day. The same I believe will be sent to the Council next week. The report's content is positive and is recommended that measures be removed. The recommendation is to remove measures”, he said.
