Many Serbs living in Kosovo may not benefit from the visa liberalisation with the EU that Kosovo is hoping to secure soon, rights activists are warning.
Holders of Serbian passports in Kosovo may not be able to travel to and around the EU’s visa-free Schengen zone once the EU relaxes its travel regime with Kosovo, experts warn.
The warning comes after the European Commission confirmed on July 18 that Kosovo had now met the two outstanding visa liberalisation requirements – ratification of the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro and a strengthened track record in the fight against crime and corruption – so fulfilling all benchmarks set out in the EU’s visa liberalisation roadmap.
