Kosovo: visa liberalisation. EP, green light to negotiations

For short stays. Result of dialogue started in 2012

(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, AUGUST 30 - The European Parliament gave green light to negotiations with EU member states to allow Kosovo's citizens to travel to Europe without a visa. The EP Justice Committee passed the opening of negotiations with the Council and the Commission.

Since 2012, the EU has undertaken the negotiations on short-stay visas with Kosovo, a country that has not yet been recognized by 5 EU countries and is the only one in the whole region that has not yet achieved a visa liberalization regime.

''The Kosovars deserve it. We no longer see a reason to delay or even jeopardise Kosovar citizens' freedom of travel to Europe'', said the rapporteur Tanja Fajon (Social Democratic Party). (ANSA).
