General documents - Joint statement by Co-Chairs (Parliamentary Assembly of Kosovo) 10th Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee meeting, 16 March 2023 - Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo

Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:55:20 GMT

Following the 10th Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee Meeting, on 15-16 March 2023 in Strasbourg, Co-Chairs Romeo Franz (European Parliament) and Mimoza Kusari-Lila (Parliamentary Assembly of Kosovo) stated:

"On 15 and 16 March 2023, the EU-Kosovo Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee (SAPC), consisting of multiparty delegations of Members of the European Parliament and of the Assembly of Kosovo, held its 10th meeting in Strasbourg, in presence of Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

We had sincere and fruitful exchanges on all agenda items, including geopolitical considerations and our unwavering solidarity with Ukraine, achievements and challenges in the reform process, as well as the EU-facilitated Dialogue, protection of fundamental rights, including minority rights and media freedom.

The SAPC welcomed Kosovo's unwavering commitment to its European path. We reiterated the belief that the EU integration process brings about important transformative power and encourages democratic consolidation, long-term growth, socio-economic cohesion and institutional integrity. We reaffirmed our common belief that the EU is not complete without the Western Balkans, and underlined that a consistent approach to the enlargement process invigorates the European concept and EU's credibility, in contrast to the negative influence by third parties. In this context, the SAPC welcomed Kosovo's application for European Union membership, which proves a clear strategic choice in times of unprecedented geopolitical challenges, and reflects the staunchly pro-EU orientation of citizens and the consensus among political parties.

We welcomed the long-overdue agreement on legislation enabling EU visa liberalisation for citizens of Kosovo at the beginning of 2024 at the latest, which will facilitate travel, cultural and educational exchange as well as business activities.

We are looking forward to the next EU-Kosovo SAPC, which will take place in Pristina in the second half of this year."

General documents - Statement on the unconstitutional ‘Day of Republika Srpska’ celebrations, 12 January 2023 - Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 11:01:47 GMT

Following the recent unlawful 'Day of Republika Srpska' festivities Romeo Franz (Greens/EFA, Germany), Chair of the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, and Paulo Rangel (EPP, Portugal), Standing Rapporteur for Bosnia and Herzegovina, issued the following statement:

"On 9 January the Republika Srpska entity leadership once again celebrated the 'Day of Republika Srpska' in defiance of longstanding rulings of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Constitutional Court which declared both the self-proclaimed holiday and the 2016 referendum unconstitutional. Ignoring these rulings constitutes a criminal offence. The 9 January celebratory events were preceded and followed by so-called 'ceremonial academies' in Banja Luka and the Brčko District on 8 and 10 January. We consider the choice of East Sarajevo as the venue for this year's 9 January celebrations as an additional and particularly cynical provocative act. We also unreservedly condemn the attendance of these unlawful events by several Serbian ministers, the Speaker of the Serbian parliament and - for the first time - two ministers of Montenegro's technical government.

We have repeatedly highlighted that there is no place in Europe for the denial of genocide and the glorification of convicted war criminals, which are incompatible with the notions of truth, justice and dignity for victims and survivors. They thwart any attempts at reconciliation and risk perpetuating dangerous divisions within the country.

Against the background of Russia's ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine the awarding of Republika Srpska's highest distinction to Vladimir Putin on the occasion of this year's 'Day of Republika Srpska' speaks volumes about the 'sense of belonging' of the leadership of Republika Srpska and its contempt for core European values. So does the participation of the Nightwolves in the 9 January parade. This Russia-based and Kremlin-sponsored nationalist motorcycle club was added to the EU list of sanctioned entities in July 2022 and its leaders are banned from entering Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Several red lines have been crossed, and it is high time for the international community to move beyond strong verbal statements and take specific, targeted action against those who continue to deliberately and systematically undermine Bosnia and Herzegovina's constitutional and territorial order in words and deeds. Through his statements and actions Milorad Dodik has de facto disavowed the 12 June 2022 political agreement that he subscribed to. We reiterate the European Parliament's call in its resolution of 6 July 2022 on the EU, its Member States and the international community 'to follow the example set by the United States and the United Kingdom and use all available tools, namely targeted sanctions and the suspension of funds, against destabilising actors in the country, including those threatening the territorial order of BiH, notably Milorad Dodik' and urge swift, tangible and credible punitive action."

General documents - Statement following the Council’s decision regarding the visa-free regime for citizens of Kosovo, 30 November 2022 - Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 12:13:36 GMT

Statement by Romeo Franz, Chair of the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, and Viola von Cramon-Taubadel, European Parliament's Rapporteur for Kosovo, following the Council's decision regarding the visa-free regime for citizens of Kosovo

Romeo Franz and Viola von Cramon-Taubadel welcome the adoption of the Council's negotiating mandate by EU Member States' ambassadors, as a crucial step towards enabling visa-free travel for citizens of Kosovo.

Following the agreement reached in the Council, Romeo Franz (Greens/EFA, Germany), Chair of the European Parliament Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, and Viola von Cramon-Taubadel (Greens/EFA, Germany), European Parliament's Rapporteur for Kosovo, issued the following statement on Wednesday:

"We warmly welcome the long-overdue decision of the EU member states' ambassadors who agreed today the Council's negotiating mandate on a regulation on visa free travel for holders of passports issued by Kosovo. While we are happy that compromise has been found in the Council, we deeply regret that it comes very late, as Kosovo had fulfilled all the required benchmarks more than four years ago. The recent linkage of the visa liberalisation issue to the implementation of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System has only exacerbated frustrations.

It is important to underline that today's decision resonates the unequivocal and longstanding position of the European Parliament in favour of visa liberalisation for Kosovo, which has also been mirrored in the Recommendations of the EU-Kosovo Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee, most recently the ones adopted unanimously in Pristina in early November.

Citizens of Kosovo deserve visa liberalisation. Young Kosovars in particular should enjoy the same opportunities to travel that are available to other young Europeans, including their peers in the Western Balkans. Visas are costly, and the procedure is often time-consuming and unpredictable. We are therefore confident that the negotiations between the Council and the European Parliament, as co-legislators, will be swift and lead to adoption as soon as possible."

General documents - Statement by D-SEE Chair Romeo Franz, following his meeting with Mr Šefik Džaferović, Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Delegation for relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 10:30:16 GMT

Brussels, 11 November 2021

My meeting today in the European Parliament with the Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mr Šefik Džaferović, was a very important one.

We agree that the state integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina is untouchable.

I strongly condemn the divisive actions of Republika Srpska's Milorad Dodik and call on him to stop his blockades and secessionist activities with the aim of destabilizing and ultimately tearing apart the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I urge him to respect the Dayton Agreement and thus the state-level competencies in the areas of justice, army, taxes, telecommunications and border police, to name a few.

Dodik's actions threaten not only Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the entire Western Balkans and also the European Union. They lead to conflict and worse: they risk spiralling out of control, which could lead to a near-war situation. This cannot be in the interest of the EU and its institutions: we need stability and respect for the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The other signatories of the Dayton Peace Agreement, Serbia and Croatia, must also adhere to what they signed. It is obvious that certain political forces in EU Member State Croatia, too, have a potentially destabilising agenda in relation to Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is absolutely unacceptable.

The one stoking the fire is once again President Putin, who tries to destabilize the EU every way he can, using his leverage with President Lukashenko in Belarus, with President Vučić in Serbia and even with some EU Member States.

The EU must resolutely oppose all these attacks. What is at stake here is peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the entire Western Balkans and ultimately the stability and prosperous future of the European Union.

We must therefore act, and act now!
