The European Commissioner for Enlargement, Oliver Varhelyi, said that Kosovo has fulfilled the points for visa liberalization.

During his speech, while presenting the progress reports of the European Council for the countries of the Western Balkans for 2022, Varhelyi underlined that technical talks are expected to take place on this issue.

“Kosovo has had political stability throughout this year and the authorities have shown that they are ready to follow the path towards the EU. We know that Kosovo has taken steps for democracy and the rule of law and to fight corruption. Progess has been made in various matters.

In the coming years we would like to see faster reforms. Regarding the liberalization of visas, the Commission adheres to what it said in July 2018, that Kosovo has fulfilled all points. The proposal is still in the Council and we are waiting for technical discussions”, he emphasized.
