Dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, after almost 2 years of interruption, resumed in Brussels on 16 July this year.

This process was suspended in November 2018, due to a tax Kosovo Government imposed on imports from Serbia. This tax was later replaced with reciprocity, but Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti's government lifted reciprocity in order to give it a chance to resume dialogue.
