"Mr President, I would like to thank Ms Lunacek for the work she has done and the support she has given to a country which is the only one in the region not to have any contractual relationships with the Union and which is one of the most isolated countries in this part of Europe, because its citizens can still see no light at the end of the visa-free tunnel.
The abolition of visas will be especially important for young people. When Kosovo receives a timetable for the abolition of visas in the spring, we will have to ensure that the process is a rapid one and help the authorities, who will have their work cut out.
We also need to increase Kosovo’s dialogue with Serbia, once agreement has been reached on Kosovo’s regional representation and joint border management. Only full recognition of Kosovo will bring life back to normal.
I am pleased that the Commission has launched a feasibility study, which will be a step towards Kosovo’s closer ties with the Union. Young people need prospects for the future, they need jobs.
We need to strengthen European consciousness amongst young people, and strengthen the fight against corruption and organised crime, not only in Kosovo, but in all the countries of the Western Balkans. Above all, we have to be honest, on both sides."@en1
