Escobar: Kosovo and Serbia to implement the agreement by the end of summer

The special envoy of the United States of America (USA) for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, assessed that the agreement on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina is a "great achievement" and that it represents a "historic step forward" in the development of relations between Serbia and Kosovo.

In an interview with the Mina agency, Escobar said that he "sees no reason" why the agreement on the remaining issues cannot be reached by the end of the summer, Beta reports.

As he said, in Serbia there are some elements that need to be completed regarding the recognition of car license plates, IDs and some other things.

"Kosovo is also expected to form the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority. Sorry, this is not a wait. It is an obligation", said Escobar.

He said that the United States wants these processes to take place as soon as possible.

"I don't see any reason why it can't be finished by the end of the summer," Escobar said.

He recalled that the agreement between the two parties is legally binding and that now the question is how to fully implement it.

Escobar said that he is optimistic that the goal will be achieved and believes that the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti and the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vu?i? "can show the necessary political courage to take the right steps".

On February 27, Kosovo and Serbia reached the Agreement for the normalization of relations in Brussels, while on March 18, in Ohrid, they agreed on the annex for its implementation./ REL
