The EU reacted to the decision of Kosovo to postpone the replacement of Serbian documents until September

The European Union approves the decision of the Kosovo government to postpone the replacement of Serbian passports and license plates on the territory of the republic until September 2022. Josep Borrell, head of European diplomacy, wrote about this on Twitter..

“We welcome the decision of Kosovo to postpone the measures to 1 September. Expect all roadblocks to be removed immediately. Open issues should be resolved through EU-facilitated dialogue and focus on the comprehensive normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia, which is essential for their path towards EU integration,” the official said..

The day before, the government of Kosovo met with US Ambassador Jeff Hovenier and discussed the aggravation of relations with Belgrade. As a result of the dialogue, it was decided to postpone the implementation of the plan to replace documents for Serbs living in the territory of the partially recognized republic.

Recall that against the backdrop of the conflict with Kosovo in Serbia, they started talking about the “denazification” of the Balkans, and the local president Aleksandar Vucic made a statement in which he accused Pristina of the escalation and promised that Serbia would “win”. The NATO mission in Kosovo reacted to the politician’s words, saying that it would intervene “if the stability of the region is threatened”.
