"Kosovo Embraces New Era of Visa-Free Travel to Schengen Zone"

Kosovo citizens celebrated their first day of visa-free travel to the Schengen area on January 1, 2024, marking a significant milestone after years of visa requirements for the EU. The move, which allows for 90 days of travel within a 180-day period, was greeted with enthusiasm at Pristina Airport, with some citizens already planning short trips to seek employment opportunities. Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti hailed the event as the end of a long-standing injustice, while the government cautioned against misusing the new travel privileges.
