As @EPPGroup shadow on visa liberalisation for 🇽🇰 I am glad that we reached this important step. I call for a positive vote in the Plenary and in the Council of the #EU so that #Kosovo citizens can travel freely to the EU & the whole Western Balkans is under the same visa regime.

Deeply disappointed that ❌@TheProgressives and @RenewEurope rejected our call for a resolution on this anniversary.
Their cynical message is that the rights of Rohingya, Uyghurs, Roma and other national & linguistic minorities in #Europe are not worth the effort. #EPlenary 3/3

Respect for the rights of minorities in the #EU was and still is a matter of utmost importance for 40 million Europeans.

We agreed that deepening of #EU and #CoE cooperation is needed and the relationship between the European Parliament and PACE should be intensified.

It is important more than ever to combine #EU & #CoE efforts to strengthen democracy & maintain peace in Europe.
Existing co-op needs to expand in areas such as minority rights, cultural diversity, hate speech & non-discrimination.
Great exchange of views with PACE members!

The veto of #Austria in #JAI is shameful & it rocks the entire European architecture that is based on rules & common interest.

European cooperation will not be the same after todays #Schengen vote. Austria has single-handedly shaken off the faith in solidarity.
No reasonable arguments from 🇦🇹, they cynically punished #Romania because of their internal political issues. 1/2
