On January 1st, Serbia allows for circulation on its territory with RKS license plates

Serbia's government has decided on January 1st to enable the free movement of all cars with RKS license plates from Kosovo across Serbia's entire territory.

This has been done by Petar Petkov, director of the so-called Kosovo office in Serbia's government, broadcasts Telegrafi.

“Allowing all vehicles registered in Kosovo to participate in communications is exclusively done for practical reasons, in order to facilitate the position of individuals and enable their freedom of movement and cannot be interpreted as recognition or unilateral declaration of Kosovo independence, does not prejudge the definition of final status, and cannot be interpreted as Belgrade's consent to deviate from guaranteed rights with UN Security Council Resolution 1244, said in the text of Serbia's government.

Petkov added that they have thereby defended the rights of Serbs in Kosovo, enabling freedom of movement.

“We have not crossed red lines in preserving national integrity and sovereignty”, he said.
