Thus has German analyst Bodo Weber stated, stressing that, even though details of the agreement are not known, the framework is clear -- the two sides must commit not to block each other on the road to the EU.

According to Weber, “in principle is nothing surprising”, for Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, announced during yesterday's internal opinion that Serbia, before joining the EU, must, among other conditions, sign a legally binding document for normalising relations with Pristina.
