However, as seen by neighboring nations' experiences, visa waiver agreements may have an adverse effect on the number of visitors entering the borderless Schengen region. Kosovar officials have been warned about this by the country's specialists on the subject.

In addition to maintaining close family ties with the diaspora and traveling for other reasons, such as tourism, education, and business, citizens of the Western Balkan nation would finally be able to move freely, according to Arian Zeka, the Executive Director of the American Chamber in Kosovo, according to EU Helpers.

Zeka, however, raises worries that, given the labor shortages that European nations are experiencing in a number of industries, visa liberalization may lead to an increase in migrant activities.

"This [migration] will have an impact on Kosovo's consumption as well as the further contraction of the labor force in Kosovo. However, given that consumption is one of the foundations of the nation's economy, it may be challenging to do so, according to Zeka.

Burim Piraj, General Manager of one of the top businesses in the nation, is equally concerned because his 30-year-old company may see a labor shortage as early as next year.

However, Piraj continues to be upbeat, pointing out that his company has been preparing for such days by hiring more female employees over the age of 35 as younger workers may shoot their shot in the EU as well as increasing the number of employees by 10% and managing the situation by improving working conditions.

In order to keep their employees happy, Piraj urged his peers, "Local business owners must raise their minimum wage to €400, in addition to implementing the eight-hour shift and offering weekends off."

He also counsels other business owners to fulfill their commitments on schedule, such as paying employees' salaries on time and offering health insurance before September, to avoid suffering significant losses in January 2024.

On the other side, with Kosovars being among the youngest populations in Europe, the EU might see a surge in its labor force.

According to a spokeswoman for the EU Commission, the organization is collaborating with partners in the economies of the Western Balkans to implement the Youth Guarantee, which, when put into place, boosts support for young people and provides quality possibilities for education, training, and employment.

The possibility of a brain drain or an influx of qualified professionals to Europe creates yet another issue for Kosovo.

Winchester University researcher Seb Bytyci suggested that the government enhance the public sector and push for an improvement in the standard of living in Kosovo.

According to competent workers, "higher salaries and offering benefits like health insurance can improve the situation, especially in deficit sectors," he stated.

According to a recent study by EU Helpers for Migration in the Kosovo of Post Visa Liberalization, 37.7% of respondents have plans to move to the EU after visa liberalization, with hopes for a better quality of life cited as the primary motivation by 78.8% of respondents.
