The paper observes that the 78 day walking of four Kosovo men, from Gjilan/Gnjilane to Brussels, is just a symbolic effort to sensitize the European Union about the fact that Kosovo remains the only one in the region to need visas to travel to the EU. Compare to the neighboring countries, Kosovo institutions are requested to fulfill double criteria in order to gain visa liberalization for the EU countries. Some of the points of the guidelines for visa liberalization have been treated seriously, while a lot of work remains to be done.
However, the final decision will definitely be political, writes this daily. Being that many issues will depend on the position of the EU member countries, where , right wing extremists, with their policies against immigration won the May elections at European Parliament, Kosovo’s perspective on the issue does not appear to be very bright. Kosovars are among the groups with the highest number of immigration in European countries. Frustration from this isolation is increasing and as the liberalization continues to be postponed, it is not a surprise if many other people head toward Brussels on foot,” concludes this daily.
