"I support the European Commission’s decision, which embodies the commitment shown for years on end with regard to the visa waiver for citizens of the Western Balkans region. However, I believe that the citizens of the Republic of Moldova should enjoy the same rights regarding the freedom of movement in the EU as soon as possible. The European Union must continue to develop its open-door policy to these countries, and the visa waiver is an important step on the path to European integration for these peoples.
To supplement this decision, which will lead to the development of cross-border business opportunities and allow people the freedom of movement, European institutions must consider organising cultural and educational programmes which will publicise European values in these countries. Against this background, reinforcing border security and combating international crime must continue to be a priority.
Finally, I wish to reconfirm that Romania has not recognised Kosovo’s independence."@en1
