Kosovo’s Minister for European Integration Bekim Çollaku said in an interview for zëri that the decision of EU Committee LIBE opens way to visa liberalization for Kosovo. However this will be done in condition that Kosovo ratifies the agreement on border demarcation with Montenegro as soon as possible. He said that ratification is a necessary condition where the EU will not compromise, and that it was made clear on Tuesday that the European Parliament will not put report on Kosovo in the agenda if this remaining criterion is not fulfilled.
Çollaku also stressed that he would not insist on demarcation if he was convinced that Kosovo would lose land. “I am saying with full responsibility that we as Kosovo would never ratify the agreement as a reward for visa liberalization if we were convinced that Kosovo would lose territory,” Çollaku said.
