Oliver Varhelyi said: “Montenegro is expected to establish a record of effective and concrete investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of corruption and organized crime. The European Commission is closely monitoring Montenegro’s progress in these areas, including through the latest package of EU enlargement reports, adopted by the European Commission on 6 October 2020, and expects that all allegations of corruption will receive credible, independent and efficient institutional responses”

Lukas Mandl erklärt: "In diesen Tagen wird die gegenseitige Anerkennung des Staates Israel und der Republik Kosovo Wirklichkeit. So unterschiedlich die beiden Staaten sind, so sehr gilt, dass beide für die Entwicklung der EU und Europas von besonderer Wichtigkeit sind. Auch deshalb ist es ein Moment der Freude, wenn zwei Staaten, die so viel mit der EU verbindet, nun auch diplomatische Beziehungen aufnehmen"

Lukas Mandl informiert: "Der EU-Israel-Assoziierungsrat hat seit 2012 nicht getagt. Seit Jahren verlangen wir die Wiedereinberufung mit dem Ziel einer Aktualisierung und Vertiefung des Assoziierungsabkommens zwischen Israel und der EU. Es war ein Schritt in die Richtung, dass EU-Kommissar Oliver Varhelyi genau das im Herbst angekündigt hat. Ich höre auch, dass die portugiesische Ratspräsidentschaft dieses Vorhaben für das erste Halbjahr 2021 in ihrem Plan hat. Ich habe daher eine formale parlamentarische Anfrage an den Rat der Mitgliedsstaaten gestellt, um eine verbindliche Antwort zur Vorbereitung und zur Umsetzung dieses Vorhabens zu bekommen. Es freut mich, dass Österreich hier mit gutem Beispiel vorangeht und auf Initiative von Bundeskanzler Sebastian Kurz seit dem vergangenen Sommer an einem vertieften Abkommen zwischen Israel und Österreich arbeitet"

Lukas Mandl sagt: "Der Rat der Mitgliedstaaten ist ebenfalls gefordert, die Visaliberalisierung für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger der Republik Kosovo endlich umzusetzen. Darauf bezieht sich meine zweite aktuelle parlamentarische Anfrage. Wir wissen, dass es eine kleine Minderheit an Mitgliedstaaten ist, die den Kosovarinnen und Kosovaren noch immer vorenthält, was den Bürgerinnen und Bürger aller anderen fünf Westbalkanstaaten längst gewährt wird, nämlich visafreies Reisen in die EU - und zwar trotz der Erfüllung aller Auflagen durch den kosovarischen Staat, trotz der Empfehlung durch die Europäische Kommission und trotz der klaren Mehrheitsentscheidungen im Europäischen Parlament als einziger direkt gewählter Institution, als Bürgervertretung Europas. Worum es hier geht, ist das absolute Minimum dessen, was die EU leisten muss, um der starken europäischen Orientierung der Menschen des Kosovo gerecht zu werden, nämlich schlichtweg die Einhaltung der eigenen Versprechen. Man muss sich auf die EU verlassen können. Der Rat ist gefordert, schnell und eindeutig zu entscheiden"

Lulzim Basha declared: "I just had a 'zoom in' communication with some of the EU's top leaders, including Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi, EP Foreign Affairs Committee chairman David McAllister, other senior EU and EP leaders with whom I have also talked about the extraordinary assistance that the EU has provided to Albania, but also about the economic assistance and assistance in the health sector that the EU will provide to Albania in the future. One thing is clear: due to the failure of Edi Rama, Albania is today in the deepest economic crisis compared to any other country in the region. In 8 years, Edi Rama has increased taxes by taking EUR 3 billion more from Albanians. 40% of business revenue goes to Rama's increased revenue cost. The economic aid that the government of Edi Rama has given to Albanians is the lowest in the world. This is the reason why Albania is the country with the deepest economic crisis in the world. The good news is that the days of this government are numbered. The tyranny of the government that has taken money from Albanians, Albanian business and instead of turning it into services and investments have given it to a handful of customers can not be hidden and does not hide its failure by blaming the EU. It is time for a change, to remove this government and this irresponsible PM"
