欧盟对科索沃免签证旅行生效。 The European Union visa-free travel for Kosovo enters into force.
周一，欧盟对科索沃免签旅行制度正式开始。 On Monday, the European Union's visa-free travel regime for Kosovo officially began. 这使得科索沃人可以在任何 180 天内免签证前往申根区最多 90 天。 This allows Kosovars to travel to the Schengen zone without a visa for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. 科索沃拥有 180 万人口，是西巴尔干六个国家中最后一个获得此项豁免的国家。 With a population of 1.8 million, Kosovo was the last of the six Western Balkans countries to receive this waiver. 科索沃政府认为这一改革是迈向充分认可的一步，也是对其加入欧盟雄心的推动。 The government of Kosovo views this reform as a step toward full recognition and a boost for their ambition to join the EU. 然而，塞浦路斯、希腊、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克和西班牙等五个国家不承认科索沃从塞尔维亚独立，塞尔维亚本身也不承认。 However, five countries, including Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain, do not recognize Kosovo's independence from Serbia, nor does Serbia itself.
