EC: Kosovo's Progress a 'Deterioration' Pristina | 04 November 2009 | Lawrence Marzouk
European CommissionThe European Commission’s progress report on Kosovo, released last month, shows a ‘deterioration’ in the country’s performance, according to a high ranking EC official in the country.
Khaldoun Sinno, head of political, economic and European integration at the European Commission Liaison Office in Kosovo, made the comments at an event organised by his office to discuss the progress report.
He said: “The report for 2009 is more negative than last year – it is a deterioration.”
The European Commission revealed in its yearly performance report and study into Kosovo’s EU future that it would open discussions with Pristina on visa liberalisation.
But the document and subsequent statements have yet to clarify what path Kosovo will take.
Renzo Daviddi, head of the EC office in Kosovo, said at the same meeting that Kosovo’s path towards joining visa liberalisation would be “long and painful”.
Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro are expected to join the so-called White Schengen list from January 1, allowing their citizens to travel into the EU's Schengen countries without a visa.
In addition to a number of technical criteria that Kosovo must achieve to join its neighbours, the young country also faces problems with the five EU members that have not recognised its independence.

Tadic says,
"A few years ago a world politician told me, 'You will have to recognize Kosovo's independence sooner or later'. Last year, the same politician spoke to me in this way: 'Soon the international community will address you to give you back what's yours'."

^ Vin, kosovo even with the new highway linking it with Albania, won't bring it out of its hole. The Serbian government must keep persisting because l do really feel that kosovo is not lost.

The only reason why that highway was built was to have some form of infrastructure in place for NATO. It is not for trade as both have nothing to trade.

I never thought of it in that way. I've read that it will help the regime in Pristina trade with nations that have recognised it?.

I won't explain myself too much but honestly a war will occur, and the way the US is running at the moment, things may turn out much different this time round.
or
Possibly the mafia culture in kosovo might be a factor for them caving in?
