EU heads of state gather, expected to discuss Kosovo- Serbia

Conclusions are expected to be adopted at the end of this summit, where support will be given to the European proposal for normalising reports between Kosovo and Serbia.

In the draft of the conflicts, in which Free Europe Radio access has been required, obligations from the 2013 and 2015 agreements -- including the one for the Association of Serb-run municipalities -- are required in whole and unconditional terms.

Xova is being pressured by the US and the EU to establish association.

Kosovo and Serbia have reached agreement on Association in 2013 and later 2015 on principles for its establishment.

But in 2015, the Constitutional Court of Kosovo has found that the agreement is not in full harmony with the Constitution.

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, who has so far strongly opposed the creation of one-ethnic association, unveiled before Kosovo Assembly deputies six conditions for forming it on February 2nd.

On the other hand, the draft resolutions reportedly that the European Council “in light of recent developments in northern Kosovo underscores the urgent need for progress in normalising the reports between Kosovo and Serbia through EU facilitated dialogue, led by EU High Representative”.

The EU Council welcomes the European proposal to place the reports between the two sides on a new and stable basis as a historic case, which should be used by both sides in order to realise their European perspective”, the proposal of the context text said.

The EU's proposal for normalising Kosovo-Serbia relations has been handed over to the two countries at the end of last summer, but its contents have not been made public.

This proposal, in which the REL has had access, envisions equal rights for Kosovo and Serbia, respect for territorial integrity, border invisibility, recognition of state symbols and a special arrangement for the Serb community in Kosovo.

The document does not mention mutual recognition between Kosovo and Serbia or the membership of Kosovo in the United Nations Organisation, for which things Kosovo officials publicly insist, but stresses the support the parties should give each other in the process of European integration.

Kosovo and Serbia hold dialogue under EU mediation that has US support as well since 2011. The process aims to normalise reports between states. But Kosovo and Serbia have different views as far as the process ends.

As long as Pristina wants a final agreement to include mutual recognition, Belgrade insists on a compromise solution, without specifying what compromise it is about.

The main topics of the two-day EU summit will be the migration policy and the situation in Ukraine. For the first time in an EU summit will participate physically and Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky. / REL
