Kosovo is getting ready for VISA FEE travel, you think? Look..Many people apply for asylum in Kosovo but Republic of Kosovo did not give refugee status to any one yet, Where is Hunam rights of this people who seek protection in Kosovo, Why EU is just counting the numbers of people who seeek asylum in Kosovo but human and refugee rights are abuse in Kosovo by Kosovan gov.
Kosovan immigration should verifie genuine asylum seekers and process their applications further.
100s foreign citizen apply for refugee status in young state of Kosovo but after waiting for months most of them left for Serbia or other country. Asylum seekers in Kosovo don’t get basic risghts human rights as asylum seeker, adults and child don’t have right for Education, work or any sort of financial support or medical care. Single females, childrens, families and single mens live at at same place, Elderly people, kids and adlts share same rooms even some people use drugs and alcohol at same place.
People have to take loan from their family or friends to survive.
Is this you call ASYLUM ??? No one get asylum in KOSOVO …
This is a shameful game to show the world and eu that this number of people apply for asylum in Kosovo but in reality no one get refugee status till now.
So Still u think kOSOVO IS REEADY FOR VISA FREE TRAVEL TO EU????

That appears to be all very well as they say, forgetting:

1. fellow NATO member Turkey ‘Deep Strategic’ interest as expressed in its unelected Turkish Foreign Minister’s respectfull tome, and
2. ‘Greater Albania’ aspirations expressed recently at a well attendted world conference held in Albania.

I of course also agree with the old American dictum of having old adversaries “Pissing inside the Tent rather than outside …” being an adbantage unless one prefered them not to be so sude in the first place.

All seems quite quaint though, given the current level of xenophobia about!

Everyone is talking about conditions that Serbia needs to meet prior to EU exceptance, the EU needs to look long and hard at Kosovo before even considering Visa Free Travel. The question that needs to be asked is, what good for the EU if they allow citizens from the poorest country in Euorpe to travel into it’s boarders? Fix this place first EU and then allow Visa Free Travel, you will just be importing more problems if you dont

The article claims that Serbia agreed to “technical” negotiations when it made a compromise with the EU on its UN resolution. This is not correct.

The original resolution contained elements that explicitly condemned Kosovo’s unilateral independence declaration. The compromise deleted those statements. But it contains just a call for “negotiations” and it leaves in the middle whether these should be technical or not.

The examples the article mentions (customs stamps and telephone codes) are actually very unlikely to see a compromise as what the EU majority is pressing for would amount to a de facto recognition of Kosovo.
