INFO.CZ: Serbia and Kosovo at the same table, but without a result. Instead of a solution, the upcoming agreement brought only more questions

After long negotiations, according to the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, on Saturday, March 18, the representatives of Serbia and Kosovo agreed on the final form of the agreement, which is supposed to ensure the normalization of relations between the two countries. Serbia does not recognize the independence of its former province, and relations have further escalated over the past year and a half over a dispute over the recognition of identity documents and vehicle registration plates issued by the two entities. The heated atmosphere in the war-torn region has attracted enormous attention from the US and the European Union, and both sides have invested significant efforts towards calming the situation and formulating an agreement to prevent similar situations in the future.

Evropská unie již od roku 2011 vede jednání mezi oběma zeměmi, která mají vyústit právě v úplnou normalizaci jejich vzájemných vztahů. Prvním významným výsledkem dialogu byla takzvaná Bruselská dohoda v roce 2013, která mimo jiné předpokládala vytvoření Svazu srbských municipalit na severu Kosova obývaného především etnickými Srby."
