Kosovo President Hashim Thaci on Wednesday asked Tirana to smooth the way for Kosovans applying for Albanian citizenship, which would enable them to travel to Europe without visas.
"The European Union's blocking strategy pushed us today to demand the (Albanian) president allow Kosovars to apply for double citizenship in order to get the right to freely travel," Thaci said after meeting his counterpart Ilir Meta, saying the bloc had left Kosovo in "complete isolation".
