Kosovo citizens to travel to EU without visa from 2024
Kosovo citizens can travel to the European Union without a visa from 2024 after the European Parliament gave the green light on Tuesday.
The vote by the EU legislature in Strasbourg, France, was the last legal step required to grant visa-free travel to Kosovo citizens after member states gave their backing in March.
Under the new rules, which could apply even before 2024, people with Kosovo passports could travel to the EU without a visa and stay for up to 90 days in any 180 days.
Today’s “decision on visa liberalisation is a victory for the people of Kosovo, for democracy and European unity,” wrote Vjosa Osmani, the president of Kosovo, on Twitter.
Kosovo is the last country in the Western Balkans region to be granted visa-free travel to the bloc.
