International officials continue to make it clear that without ratification of the demarcation with Montenegro, Kosovo will not become part of the countries that enjoy free movement. Igor Soltes, new Rapporteur for Kosovo, says the “ball” is already on the hands of Kosovo.

“I hope that Kosovo could leave aside its internal political differences and decide in favor of the entire nation by resolving the matter of demarcation of the border which would have been a major step towards visa liberalization,” Soltes said.

Commenting the situation and possibility for the Assembly not to vote the demarcation of the border with Montenegro, Soltes said that he remains with hope that the already set conditions will be fulfilled because as he put it, this is not only the wish of Kosovo but of the European Union as well.
