lpv:translated text	"I wish to thank the two rapporteurs and Mr Füle for their work. I hope that Albania’s politicians will be up to working for a better European future for its citizens and putting an end to the political instability in the country. Visa liberalisation must be finalised by the end of this year. It is very important for Albanians and most important for Albania’s young people to be able to travel and feel that Europe is closer to them. Tangible progress is being made in Albania in the battle against corruption. However, a great deal, of course, still needs to be done. Measures must be stepped up against organised crime and actions improved against money laundering, human and drugs trafficking. It is important that more far-reaching legal and administrative reforms are carried out and that the rule of law is enhanced. As regards Kosovo, it must be given a road map by the European Union for introducing the visa-free regime. In addition to all the benefits, I think that it will also ease interethnic tension. It will give a signal that the European Union is an achievable prospect for Kosovo. I call on both the European Union and the authorities in Kosovo to work on achieving the country’s European integration more quickly. This also involves, of course, protecting the rights of all national minorities, including their cultural heritage. Violence is unacceptable. Kosovo must strengthen the rule of law throughout its whole territory. It is important for the Kosovan authorities to adopt suitable measures against organised crime and the widespread corruption prevalent in every sphere of economic and political life."@en1
