Seeing that Kosovo- Serbia has a deadlock, out of 500 citizens surveyed findings point to various concerns in urban and rural areas about the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue process. In rural areas, the main concern is the lack of transparency and communication with the public regarding dialogue (41%), compared to 23% in urban areas.

Some predict rejection for cultural or political reasons, others predict accession for the sake of economic ease.
