Meanwhile, EU spokesman Peter Stano has declared to T7 that the task force aims to find a permanent find on the license plate issue.

The first meeting of the working group for car license plates with experts from both sides will be held on 21 October. The processing group aims to find a permanent solution to the issue”, Stano has declared.

On September 20th, the Kosovo government imposed the reciprocity measure for license plates from Serbia. This decision was followed by protests and rioting barricades in the vicinity of two border crossings linking Kosovo and Serbia: Jarinje and Brnjak.

On September 30th, with the European Union's mediation, the parties reached a temporary solution, and the two states on October 4th began placing stick tags on state symbols on the license plates.

Under this agreement, Kosovo and Serbia will form a working group, which within six months will reach a sustainable solution to the issue of freedom of movement.
