Phillips: Kosovo delayed with reciprocity, Serbia should stop seeking special treatment

On the roads leading to these two points, there are no barriers imposed by Serbs, and the Kosovo Special Police Unit has also left.

KFOR members have taken control of these two locations.

These two border points have been blocked by Serbs since 20 September, when the Kosovo government has made a decision to implement reciprocity measures on license plates registered in Serbia.

Kosovo's decision to reciprocity Director of the Programme for Peace and Rights at Columbia University, David Phillips is seeing it as late.

He says Kosovo's measures are completely right.

“Reciprocity is one of the main principles in international relations. The Kosovo government has the right to ask for Kosovo license plates for cars coming from Serbia. If the Kosovo government has made a mistake, it is that they have waited too long for this decision”, it said for RTV Dukagjin, David Phillips.

Philips even says Serbia should stop seeking special treatment from the international community.

I think Serbia should stop seeking special treatment from the international community. Double standards are not applicable. KFOR forces are there to maintain stability, and they must suggest that aggression by the Serbian state will no longer be tolerated.

Under the three-point agreement, on Saturday, October 2nd was the removal of barricades and Special Police from border crossings in the Serb-inhabited majority north.

KFOR peacekeeping forces will secure border crossings in two weeks.
