European Commissioner for Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, Johannes Hahn, spoke to the members of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) about EU’s expectations and the progress in Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Turkey, and Serbia. With regards to Kosovo, Hahn noted that the next challenge is implementation of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA). “The SAA cannot fix Kosovo’s internal political problems but properly implemented, it will help keep Kosovo on the path of reform and will create trade and investment opportunities. We have also made a proposal for lifting the short-term visa obligation for Kosovo. Once adopted, this will open new possibilities for the people to connect with Europe”, Commissioner Hahn said.
