Tanja Fajon, who was also Rapporteur for visa liberalization for Western Balkans, was nominated Rapporteur for visa liberalization for Kosovo. She will be preparing the report which will be initially discussed and voted at the Parliamentary Commission then at the plenary session of the European Parliament.
Even though Kosovo has a strong support of the European Parliament MPs, the procedure requires time and it is not easy to foresee how long it will take.
The European Commission has already given its formal recommendation, despite the fact that it mentioned two additional conditions to be fulfilled. Except for the European Union Council, where the Ministers of Interior of the member states have to decide with qualified majority, the European Parliament has also to make its decision on liberalization of visas.
