Serbia to abolish entry-exit document for Kosovo ID holders and Kosovo agrees not to introduce them
Photograph: Dimitrije Goll/Serbia's Presidential press/AFP/GettyPhotograph: Dimitrije Goll/Serbia's Presidential press/AFP/GettySerbia and Kosovo have agreed on an arrangement for free movement between their countries, the EU’s foreign policy chief announced Saturday.
The agreement came after talks in Brussels earlier this week between Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, chaired by Borrell.“We have managed to ensure peace and stability on the territory of Kosovo and to preserve Serbian ID cards for Serbs” living in Kosovo “and thus also the presence of the Serbian state on this territory”, he said.
Serbia deeply resents Kosovo’s breakaway status and has never recognised its independence. Serbs in northern Kosovo have long refused to acknowledge Pristina’s authority and have largely remained loyal to the Serbian government in Belgrade. Kurti and Vučić also met the visiting US deputy assistant secretary of state, Gabriel Escobar, in Brussels late Wednesday, and Borrell thanked the United States for its support of the talks.“I expect both leaders to continue showing pragmatism and constructiveness in order to solve the problem with their licence plates,” he added.
