The European Union must keep its promise of visa liberalization for the citizens of Kosovo, was the clear message of the former German Minister for Europe, Michael Roth, after a meeting with the EU Special Envoy for the Pristina-Belgrade Dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.
Roth insisted that the Western Balkans belong to the EU, also urging Brussels to open accession negotiations with Albania and northern Macedonia.
“The countries of the Western Balkans belong to us and deserve more than just words. The EU must keep its promises, starting with talks on the accession of Albania and northern Macedonia, and visa liberalization for Kosovo. Democracy and the rule of law are important“Roth wrote on Twitter.
Lajçak agreed with his position and redistributed the post, writing: “I could not agree more with your assessment”! Michael Roth had served as Minister of State for Europe from 2014-2021, at the time when German Chancellor Angela Merkel was.
Roth has emerged as a strong supporter of Albanians and the region’s journey towards the EU.
