Normalisation Plan

Kosovo and Serbia take steps towards EU-backed normalisation plan.

Kosovo and Serbia have tentatively agreed on how to implement an EU-sponsored plan to normalise their ties, according to the bloc’s top diplomat, though leaders of the two nations said disagreements remained. The EU plan calls for the two countries to maintain good neighbourly relations and recognise each other’s official documents and national symbols. If implemented, it would prevent Belgrade from blocking Kosovo’s attempts to seek membership in the United Nations and other international organisations.
