“We are aware of the situation and follow closely. The Movement Freedom Agreement reached within the EU facilitated dialogue defines clear parameters for Kosovo citizens' entry and exit to and from Serbia. The current situation constitutes violations of this agreement, and we call on Serbia to refrain from such unilateral and uncoordinated actions and immediately return to respecting the” agreement, Stano stressed.

He has now said the EU expects the parties to fully implement all their dialogue obligations, which according to him remain valid and binding.

“We also expect the parties to provide a favourable environment for the development of dialogue and avoid any action that could jeopardise security and stability”, Stano has stressed away.
