Kosovo’s Principal Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Hashim Thaci, is calling on the people of Kosovo to be patient and not to seek asylum in other European countries. In an interview for German newspaper Handelsblatt, Thaci said the situation in Kosovo is stable and that there is no social reason for people to flee the country. “Kosovo is a safe country where there is respect for human rights, therefore, there is no reason to seek asylum in Germany,” Thaci said. He called for more economic aid for Kosovo from European countries. “Greater economic development would help reduce the number of asylum seekers in EU countries”. Thaci also said that he expects the European Union to grant visa liberalization for Kosovo citizens next year. “Visa liberalization would reduce illegal migration. Meanwhile, we are working on meeting the EU requirements,” he added.
