Chair president opens de vote and give the floor to the rapporteur

SOUNDBITE (English), Tanja FAJON (S&amp;D, SI), Dear colleagues, today we simply vote on the opening of trialogue for Kosovo visa liberalisation. This is not a final vote. However, the credibility of this house is very much at stake. Kosovo has fulfilled all the criteria for visa liberalisation , and now is our job to deliver. We have done the same in all other cases, such as Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia, and I ask you to vote in favour, and approve the mandate of LIBE Committee , Kosovo citizens deserve that. Thank you.

e-Vote results : total voters: 628; in favour 420; against 186; abstentions 022.

Chair president: It is approved so we enter into negotiations immediately. Applause.
