The European Commission confirmed that they are evaluating the request presented by Netherlands for suspending the visa-free movement of Albanian citizens.
Spokesperson Natasha Bertaud said that the EC will carefully study the request, based on relevant information. If the conclusion will be about taking specific actions, the Commission will adopt an implementation act within one month after the request is received.
The decision will have to be adopted by the Council as well, said Bertraud, who didn’t want to make any prediction about the result of the process. She clarified that the decision for suspending the visa regime cannot be taken that easily. A very careful analyze will be required.
