Fajon: Kosovo to either ratify border agreement or find another alternative (Telegrafi/DW)
European Parliament’s rapporteur for visa liberalisation for Kosovo, Tanja Fajon, said in an interview to Deutsche Welle that Kosovo needs to either ratify the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro or find a different alternative but that the decision would have to be taken by Kosovo politicians. Fajon said she understood the sensitivity of the border demarcation as a condition for visa liberalisation but added that it was imposed by the European Commission and that the government of Kosovo led by Hashim Thaci at the time, agreed. “If there is something that cannot be accepted now, that cannot be implemented now, then the parliament and the politicians of Kosovo should propose alternatives and I wish to encourage them to do so. But I fear that the use of rhetoric for lifting the visa regime is being used by Kosovo politicians for internal political situation and the visa liberalisation is being held captive to this,” Fajon said.
