However, they say that along with the European Union, they have been calling for a postponement of the implementation decision for ten months, since they reiterate their aim is to see implementation in a peaceful manner and do not contribute to increasing tensions in the northern Republic of Kosovo.
The United States and our EU partners view the Kosovo Government's decision on RKS license plates as in accordance with the Brussels Agreement, and we have no objection to it in principle”, the US Embassy's office for media Express has said.
” However, we have requested, along with our international partners, a 10-month extension of the implementation period. It is our goal to see this implemented in a way that is peaceful and not to contribute to the increase of” tensions, they have added further.
October 31st is the deadline for Serbs to register their cars with license plates from the Republic of Kosovo. Despite the two-month period given by the Kosovo government and despite financial reliefs, the number of those who have removed illegal plates and have imposed those RKS is very small.
There is great pressure from Belgrade that Serbs do not respect the law in the Republic of Kosovo.
