The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" published yesterday (September 26) an article titled "Kosova visas can be obtained on October 13".
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been determined that the title of this article is inadequate and does not correspond to the content.
The content includes an article published by "Radio Free Europe", which states that the issue of visa liberalization for Kosovo will be on the agenda on October 13 at the meeting of the European Council working group, on October 13.
REL has obtained the letter in which the Czech Presidency of the EU has already sent a letter to member states as a warning for discussions on this topic.
So, on October 13th, the EU will discuss the issue of visa liberalization for Kosovo, and there will be no decision, as the title of the article published on the "Kosova-sot.info" portal suggests.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
Kosovo visas can be obtained on October 13th
On October 13, visa liberalization for Kosovo is expected to be discussed at a meeting of the European Council working group.
Although it was rumored, visa liberalization for Kosovo was not on the agenda of the European Council meeting on June 23.
But good news for citizens of the only country in the Western Balkans who cannot travel without a visa may come on October 13th.
This topic is expected to be discussed at the meeting of the European Council working group on this date.
"Since the Czech Presidency believes that the foreign policy-related reasons for visa liberalization for Kosovo are convincing, it hopes that all EU member states will reach internal political agreement on this issue," the Czech state's letter states.
