Kosovo’s president lashed out her French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, on August 30 for saying that Paris may review visa-free EU travel rules in 2024 for Kosovo and Serbia over their stalled talks on normalizing ties. President Vjosa Osmani said any suspension of visa-free travel to the European Union for her country’s citizens would “kill the dialogue once and for all” with Serbia. EU lawmakers in April gave the green light for citizens from Kosovo to travel without visas for up to 90 days in six months in Europe’s 27-nation Schengen passport-free area, starting next year.
