The Netherlands is among the European Union countries that hinders the visa liberalization process for Kosovo. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, Bo de Koning, in an exclusive response to KosovaPress, said that the arguments provided by Kosovo institutions to fight corruption and organized crime have not been quite convincing so far.

Koning mentioned the last meeting of the Council of Europe in which there was not enough support for visa liberalization for Kosovo. Apart from the Netherlands, such a thing is being made more difficult by the attitudes of countries such as France and Belgium, which require more concrete steps in combating these negative phenomena.
