Immediately after signing European plan, hot spot will be Serbian Church status in Kosovo

It envisions that no later than 15 days after the parties sign the basic agreement, the management team must submit the draft for the establishment of the majority Serbian Commission Association.

This will enable parties to move towards other steps, such as mutual recognition of documents.

On the other hand, one of the most controversial issues in recent years has been the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo,

In the recently published draft, containing 11 articles, Article 7 is predicted to be “within 30 days after the establishment of the Joint Committee, Kosovo will formalise the status of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo and launch internal procedures for the protection of Serbian religious and cultural heritage sites, according to the EU's (entine 7 (2) of the Agreement)”.

Another topic that has prompted the response of the QUINT states is the failure to comply with the 2016 Constitutional Court's decision regarding the properties of the Decani Monastery, the decision that is further refusing to be implemented by the Government of Kosovo and the Decani Community.

In May 2016, Kosovo's Constitutional Court confirmed ownership of the Decani Monastery on several hectares of land. Despite this legitimate decision and subsequent requirements, the Court's decision has yet to be carried out. Law enforcement and respect for the judiciary's independence are the obligation of all democratic elected governments. Also, they are preconditions for Kosovo's democratic consolidation and its integration into European and Euro-Atlantic institutions”, the QUINT statement said.
