Member of the European Parliament and Standing Rapporteur for Kosovo, Viola von Cramon, presenting a report on Kosovo at the EP Committee on Foreign Affairs, has asked the European Union, namely the EU Council to give the green light on visa liberalisation for Kosovo.

She said that Kosovo citizens should be treated equally adding that the EU failed to deliver its promise on providing visa-free travel to the citizens of Kosovo, even though the European Commission and the Parliament have reiterated their support a number of times in the past two years. “People in Kosovo are frustrated justly, therefore I call the EU Council to give a signal, a clear deadline and give the green light related to this decision as soon as possible. This has to do with delivering of our promises in the region,” Von Cramon told MEPs. The EU Presidency which is presided over by Germany until the end of this year, has not included in its agenda visa liberalisation for Kosovo that this EU decision making institutions will hold today and tomorrow. /GazetaExpress/
