Foreigners report new regulations at the border, Albania's citizens react: We should, we're a nation

In line with the prime minister's statements yesterday, Albin Kurti and EU Special Representative Peter Sorensen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced that it is undertaking all necessary measures for full implementation of the Law for Foreigners and the Law on Automedias.

Foreign citizens at the border checkpoint, the White Law, have been notified of new measures by police officials, while Monday at all border crossings in the country will be initiated with applications for residence permits or address announcements. This decision has not been welcomed by foreign citizens at the White Law crossing.

The police, who have been doing it for 90 days, reported to me in Kosovo. It's not fair, we visit the family often, we contribute to this country, I believe it's not fair”, said about RTK, one of the citizens interviewed.

We were notified of new rules about cars that are not allowed to last more than three months. We didn't like this, what if we wanted to stay more. Now I don't know if we should leave Kosovo, and go back to continuing our vacation. We have documents from Kosovo as well, just because we have a car with foreign signs I don't think it's a burden more than”, another citizen said.

And Albania's citizens did not welcome the decision.

This census aims to integrate birth data, marriage and death into Kosovo's official system, while foreign citizens are obliged to declare the address within three days of entry into the Republic of Kosovo. The statement can be made online or even at the nearest police station. / RTK
