"I voted in favour of a balanced resolution on Kosovo in plenary. This is a realistic text which does not conceal the various challenges to be faced. Among the greatest challenges, I note the fragmentation of the political stage and the difficulty the government is facing in entering into effective dialogue with the opposition. We have nonetheless encouraged Kosovo to continue its efforts and acknowledged the progress that has been made, such as the fight against corruption and organised crime, and reform of the police and the judiciary. We must understand that Kosovo is still the ‘poor relation’ of the Western Balkans: it does not enjoy any trade agreements with the EU or short-stay visa liberalisation with the countries of the Schengen area. The European perspective must, however, be ‘tangible’ as it is the best tool for achieving democratisation in Kosovo and normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia."@en1
