Deda: Visa liberalization for Kosovo, late but deserved (Zeri)
Kosovo MP and former member of Vetevendosje Ilir Deda said in an interview for the paper that the European Commission’s recommendation for visa liberalization is late but at the same time is well-deserved. “It is important that our people, Kosovo, will no longer be a ghetto in the Western Balkans and it is important to have the fundamental right to free movement as dignified citizens of Europe”, said Deda adding that no one is interested of who did or did not take credit for visa liberalization and that all that matters is the end result. Asked about whether he considers that the requirement to conclude the border demarcation process with Montenegro before the actual decision to lift visas is taken, Deda said: “It is not up to us to assess whether it is right or wrong, it is what it is and I think we have to see how to move forward”. However, the main criteria remain fight against corruption and organised crime, added Deda.
