Kosovo is still waiting for the European Commission’s visa liberalization report even though it has adopted the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro as one of the EU requirements for the visa-free regime. In a written reply to the news website, European Commission representatives said the EU is assessing Kosovo’s progress in the fight against organized crime and corruption. “In 2016, the Commission presented its proposal for visa liberalization for Kosovo, with the understanding that by the date when the Parliament and Council would have to adopt the proposal, Kosovo would have ratified the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro and improved its track record in the fight against organized crime and corruption. Kosovo passed the first phase on March 21 when it ratified the border delineation deal with Montenegro. The assessment meanwhile continues for the track record in the fight against organized crime and corruption. Once the requirements are met, the Commission’s proposal needs to be formally adopted by the European Parliament and the Council,” the EC said in its reply.
