Kosovo’s Long Delayed Path to Visa-Free Travel

After years of stalemate, Kosovo is making important steps toward a visa-free agreement with the EU. Domestically, the topic is a top priority, at policy level and for the citizens. This spring, the parliament ratified the border demarcation with Montenegro and the EU deployed an expert mission to evaluate the country’s progress on the fight against organised crime and corruption. The EU may resume the positive proposal soon. Yet, there is still a long procedure and a complex political decision-making process to go through, until Kosovars are given the right to visa-free travel to the Schengen countries of the European Union.
