Armenia and Kosovo have agreed to mutually provide for the possibility of applying for an entry visa with passports issued by each other.
Commenting on this decision to recognize Kosovo's passports, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ani Badalyan told ‘Lurer’ that the goal is to ensure the fundamental principle of free movement of people.
Taking into account that Armenia has not recognized the independence of Kosovo, ‘Lurer’ also asked Ani Badalyan, what stage of cooperation and strengthening of relations are Armenia and Kosovo, is it possible to recognize the independence of that country?
“As for the nature of bilateral cooperation, as you know, the existing dialogue between Armenia and Kosovo is maintained on different platforms and levels. Steps are taken to invigorate tourism ties and people-to-people contacts, which does not mean recognition that in this regard the Republic of Armenia is not an exception at all. Many countries of the world, including a number of EU member states, recognize Kosovo's passports and have sectoral cooperation with Kosovo without recognition,” said Ani Badalyan.
