Germany wants the removal of unanimous voting in the EU, what does it mean for Kosovo?

Germany's Foreign Minister, Johann Wadefhul, called for the removal of the principle of unanimous voting in the European Union in the areas of foreign and security policy, and its replacement with the majority principle as a democracy.

If that happens, it will be good news for Kosovo, as its eventual accession to the union will not be prevented by veto by the five member states that do not recognise independence, which have been declared that they will not vote in favour of this opportunity.

“In a democracy, the majority principle is the norm, while unanimity of exclusion,” said Wadephul during a joint media conference with his Irish counterpart, Helen McEnne, in Dublin, the DPA reported.

And we have to make the democracy rate and the norm in the European Union. Only in this way can Europe remain able to act”.

After elections in Hungary on 12 April and the loss of Victor Orbán, there is now a good time window to be used, said the German top diplomat.

Considered close to Russia, the prime minister up in Budapest had blocked with veto rights, the EU vote over the 16 years it has led Hungary.

“Every month matters, even every week,” warned Wadepul.

Shortly before his loss, Orbán blocked an EU loan of 90 billion euros ($1.06 billion) for Ukraine at the end of March, causing anger, among other things, to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who called it a big act of distrust”.

On Wednesday, EU countries agreed to unblock the loan and impose new sanctions on Russia after Hungary gave up its several-month opposition.
