Kosovo’s Interior Minister, Skender Hyseni, during an official visit to Italy, asked the country’s authorities to support Kosovo’s efforts in becoming a member of Interpol and Europol. Hyseni and his Italian counterpart, Angelino Alfano, discussed global terrorism and violent extremism and agreed to cooperate in fighting these negative phenomena which are not nationally confined. Hyseni also said in the meeting that Kosovo should not remain the only isolated country in the Balkans and that the visa liberalization would be of benefit not only to the people of Kosovo but the EU as well.
