EU reaffirms: Kosovo has to meet two more visa liberalisation criteria (EO)
Ekonomia Online news website quoted European Commission spokesperson, Maja Kocijancic, as reiterating that Kosovo needs to implement two more conditions before being granted visa liberalisation: continue fight against high-level corruption and organised crime and conclude border demarcation with Montenegro. Kocijancic recalled that in a February meeting with President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker urged for continuation of fight against organised crime and corruption. She also said that the EU recognizes efforts Kosovo has made in concluding border demarcation process with Montenegro but “as stipulated in the Commission’s proposal of May 2016, ratification of the agreement is one of the requirements for visa liberalisation”.
