Green light to visa-free travel for Kosovars

The European Parliament’s civil liberties committee has voted in favour of negotiations with the European Council and Commission to include Kosovo in a visa free regime with the EU. Kosovo is the last country in the region whose citizens still face lengthy and expensive visa ​procedures to travel to the Schengen area.

Said European Parliament rapporteur for visa liberalisation for Kosovo, Tanja Fajon MEP:  "Kosovo has been isolated on the Balkan visa liberalisation map for far too long. I am proud that a large majority of MEPs voted in favour of allowing Kosovar citizens to travel freely for shorts stays in the Schengen area. Kosovars truly deserve it. As a rapporteur, I know how much work they have done to deliver the necessary reforms.

“There is no more reason for further delay or prejudices preventing Kosovars from freely travelling to Europe. I call on the Member States to recognise it, and to adopt their position as soon as possible.”
