The PP asks that Albares appear to validate the Kosovo passport and asks the Government if his partners pressured him

MADRID, 13 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PP has requested the appearance of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, before the Congress of Deputies to give explanations for the decision to accept the Kosovo passport and asks the Government if this "change in position "is due to some pressure or condition from your investiture partners.

This is stated in several writings, collected by Europa Press, in which the PP requests that Albares appear before the Foreign Affairs Commission of Congress to "explain the change in position regarding the 'visa liberalization agreement for Kosovo', given that In April 2023, the European Commission announced that Spain would be the only country in the Schengen area that would not apply said agreement.

The PP's request was registered this Tuesday, after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed last Sunday that Spain accepts the ordinary passport of Kosovo as valid since January 1. Of course, the Government specified that this does not imply in any way the recognition by Spain of the former Serbian province as an independent State.

The party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo has also registered in the Lower House a battery of questions for Pedro Sánchez's Government to respond in writing, in which it questions what the reason was for making that decision and whether it represents a "step" towards the recognition of Kosovo as a State.

He also asks him to answer if the fact of validating the Kosovo passport now is due to the fact that "he is being pressured or conditioned by his coalition partners to break Spain's position maintained since 2008."

Finally, the 'popular' people ask how many States that Spain does not consider independent issue their own passports and are accepted by the Spanish authorities.

The PP criticizes that, "once again" and as happened with the support for Morocco's plan for Western Sahara, the Sánchez Government has modified the traditional position and the Spaniards have had to find out through the media and social networks, "revealing their contempt for Parliament".
