This way, we can stop the formation of harmful false narratives. I asked that Germany bring forward visa liberalization for Kosovo. In July, it will be 2 years since visa liberalization was first recommended for Kosovo. Now is the time to say enough is enough because Kosovo has finished all of its homework,\u201d \u2013 said Kurti.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2022\/05\/04\/scholz-ill-commit-to-achieving-visa-liberalization-for-kosovo\/\">Scholz: I\u2019m committed to achieving visa liberalization for Kosovo<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2022\/04\/30\/berisha-we-refuse-an-open-balkan-serving-to-greater-serbia\/\">Berisha: We refuse an Open Balkan serving to Greater Serbia<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2022\/05\/03\/vucic-skeptic-over-berlin-meeting-with-scholz\/\">Vucic skeptical over Berlin meeting with Scholz<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div class=\"spot-im-replies-count\" data-post-id=\"eneu35695\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kosovo only supports the Berlin process and the Common Regional Market, which exist within the EU and are inclusive.
