~~At a press conference held in Bratislava after an informal summit of leaders of EU Member States, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that the European Union should develop a new policy for Balkan countries outside the European Union. Tensions in the region are rising, and the European Union’s material influence over events there is continuously declining, while the influence of others is continuously increasing.

From July 2017 to June 2018, Hungary is holding the rotating Presidency of the Visegrad Group for the fifth time. The importance of the Visegrad Cooperation, based on the principles guiding the V4 since its founding in 1991, namely mutual trust, flexibility, and a focus on common traditions, values and interests, has been growing recently.

The Hungarian Presidency builds on the goals and achievements of previous V4 Presidencies. The priorities also reflect a proper balance, as necessitated by current political developments and actual needs, between tasks related to the V4’s common voice in the EU, preserving the importance of traditional policies (Cohesion Policy and Common Agricultural Policy), cooperation with neighbouring and other European countries, as well as V4 activities related to global partners, global issues and the further strengthening of the V4 brand.

The motto of the Hungarian Presidency, V4 Connects, reflects the significant positive impact of the Visegrad Cooperation in connecting the four countries in terms of politics, economy and culture, while also referring to the Presidency's focus on our tasks related to connectivity: improving energy and transport links in our broader region, and working on a well-connected, innovative region ready for the digital age.

Kosovar citizens can enter the territory of the Schengen area, including the territory of Hungary only with having a valid Schengen visa (unless they have valid residence permits or valid long-term visas). In addition to a valid visa, each person concerned must fulfill the entry conditions provided for by the relevant EU legislation. For example: the validity of their passport shall extend at least three months after the intended date of departure from the territory of the member States, can justify the purpose and circumstances of the intended stay and adequate financial means; are not subject to an alert entry.

At the border between Hungary and Serbia, there is a temporary security barrier with high razor wire fences and consisting of various surveillance and alarm equipment. It is not possible to pass physically through this security barrier.

Cutting or cutting through some of the safety locks can cause serious injuries. However, those who damage the security barrier commit a criminal offence, which may be punishable by imprisonment. Pending the judgment the trespassers may be taken into custody.

The sole purpose of human trafficker is to mislead their victims with false information, thereby gaining their money and other assets.

With regard to the conditions of entry to Hungary, the Embassy of Hungary in Pristina can provide reliable information to all interested persons.

Qytetarët e Kosovës mund të hyjnë në zonën e Schengenit, kështu si dhe në teritorin e Hungarisë vetëm me vizë valide të Schengenit (përveҫ, nëse posedojnë leje qëndrim valid të përkohshëm ose lejeqëndrim afatgjatë). Të gjithë personat në fjalë, përpos vizës valide duhet të plotësojnë kushtet e caktuara në ligjet e BE-së (shembull: vlefshmëria e pasaportës duhet të paktën tre muaj të tejkalojë kohën e planifikuar të largimit nga shtetet anëtare, duhet të vërtetojnë qëllimin dhe rrethanat e qëndrimit të parashikuar, duhet të kenë sigurimin e duhur të mbulimit financiar, si dhe nuk duhet të kenë ndonjë ndalesë për të hyrë ne zonën schengen).

Në kufirin mes Hungarisë dhe Serbisë shtrihet rrethoja e përkohëshme e sigurisë kufitare, e cila është ndërtuar nga shtigjet e gjata dhe nga mjetet e ndryshme të monitorimit dhe alarmit. Kalimi i kësaj pengese fizikisht nuk është i mundur.

Kapërcimi, prerja e rrethojes kufitare mund të shkaktojë lëndime serioze. Megjithatë kushdo që dëmton rrethojën kufitare kryen një vepër penale, e cila mund të denohet me burgim. Kryerësi i veprës mund të arrestohet gjatë pritjes së aktgjykimit deri në një vendim të gjyqit.

Qëllimi i vetëm i kontrabandistëve është të mashtroj viktimat e tyre me informacione të rrejshme, duke përfituar kështu nga paratë dhe pasuritë e tyre.

Sa i përket kushteve të hyrjës në Hungari, Ambasada e Hungarisë në Prishtinë mund të sigurojë informacion të besueshëm për të gjithë personat e interesuar.

EU-HoMs Statement

on the Kosovo municipal and mayoral elections on 22 October 2017

Voters in Kosovo exercised their democratic rights by voting in municipal elections on Sunday. At the invitation of the President of Kosovo, the EU deployed an Election Observation Mission (EOM), the fourth fully fledged EU election observation mission of the kind in Kosovo. As for the June legislative elections it was once again headed by the Chief Observer Alojz Peterle, Member of the European Parliament. 

We are pleased that, according to the Preliminary Statement, which the EU EOM issued earlier this week, the elections were overall held in a calm and orderly manner in most parts of Kosovo. At the same time, the EU HoMs noted with serious concern that the campaign environment was marred by intimidation within many Kosovo Serb communities and that the election process within Kosovo Serb-majority municipalities thus did not meet some international and European standards for democratic elections. 

EOM identified a continuous, co-ordinated and concerning pattern of intimidation within Kosovo Serb majority areas, directed against candidates competing against Srpska Lista. This included pressure on individual candidates to withdraw and restricted political competition, raising questions about key principles of the overall democratic process in those areas. Persistent weaknesses in the election process were also repeatedly observed by the Mission that were not sufficiently addressed prior to these elections. We call upon all relevant actors from the entire political and community spectrum to address these shortcomings without any further delay. 

In line with established practice, a Final Report containing recommendations on the improvement of the wider electoral framework will be released by the EU EOM after the end of the current electoral process, including the second round of Mayoral elections to be held in four weeks' time in some municipalities. These recommendations will help the Kosovo authorities in their efforts to improve the electoral framework and thus to further improve and consolidate democratic governance and institutions. The EU is fully committed to supporting the Kosovo authorities in these efforts, including through an ODIHR-implemented regional project.
