Isolation continues (Kosova Sot)
The front page editorial of this daily writes that the second report of the European Commission on Kosovo’s progress in fulfillment of the requests deriving from the guidelines for visa liberalization, is not giving any hope for Kosovo to come out from the isolation. The report writes that Kosovo has made progress, however further efforts are required in order for its citizens to gain the right to travel to the EU without visas. The Commission recognizes the efforts of the government of Kosovo however, it appears that they are not sufficient.

Walking towards Brussels (Kosova Sot)
The paper observes that the 78 day walking of four Kosovo men, from Gjilan/Gnjilane to Brussels, is just a symbolic effort to sensitize the European Union about the fact that Kosovo remains the only one in the region to need visas to travel to the EU. Compare to the neighboring countries, Kosovo institutions are requested to fulfill double criteria in order to gain visa liberalization for the EU countries. Some of the points of the guidelines for visa liberalization have been treated seriously, while a lot of work remains to be done.
