Update on the implementation of the remaining benchmarks of the visa liberalisation roadmap by Kosovo

Further information:

The European Commission launched a visa liberalisation dialogue with Kosovo on 19 January 2012. In June of that year, the Commission presented to Kosovo a roadmap, which identified all the legislative and other measures which Kosovo needed to adopt and implement in the framework of the visa liberalisation dialogue.

The Commission has adopted four reports on Kosovo’s progress in the visa dialogue. Since the adoption of the fourth progress report in May 2016, Kosovo has continuously worked to strengthen its commitments under the four areas of the Visa Liberalisation Roadmap on Document Security; Border/Boundary and Migration Management; Public Order and Security; and Fundamental Rights related to the Freedom of Movement.

With this update to the fourth report on progress, the Commission confirms that all benchmarks as set out in the Visa Liberalisation Roadmap are fulfilled.
