- Kosovo remains the only potential candidate or actual candidate country and one of the few European countries whose citizens still need a visa to enter the EU, whether for leisure, work, or education.
- Kosovo is currently recognised as a potential candidate for accession and Kosovo’s parliament passed a resolution in March requesting that the government “take all necessary steps to join NATO, European Union, Council of Europe and other international organisations”.
- One of the main sticking points, asides from recognition which has never been on the table, is Serbia’s request to establish an Association of Serb Municipalities – an ethnic-Serb-backed structure with full autonomy in Kosovo while not being under the remit of Pristina.
No progress on EU visa liberalisation for Kosovo
