The European External Action Service (EEAS) claims that they consider this announcement as the first step and are looking forward to seeing more details.
"This step could have a positive effect on restoring regional trade and offer an opening for the resumption of the Dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina facilitated by the European Union", it is said in EEAS statement.
EU states that too much time has been lost and that trust needs to be urgently restored.
It adds that "Serbia and Kosovo need to create an environment that is conducive for the Dialogue to resume, to the benefit of both".
"High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell stands ready to play his role as the facilitator of the Dialogue on behalf of the EU", the statement concludes.
As reported by Pristina media, Albin Kurti, Kosovo's Prime Minister, said a duties on raw material would be lifted on March 15 and all of them on April 1, that will be in effect for 90 days.
U.S. Special Envoy for Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Richard Grenell said that USA do not support Prime Minister Kurti’s half measure on suspending fees to the goods from central Serbia.
"Our position is quite clear: the tariffs must be completely dropped. Mr Kurti is making a serious mistake - and that was made clear to President Thaci at the White House today", Grenell wrote on his Twitter account on the decision of Kurti to announce the gradual and conditional abolition of tariffs on goods from central Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Love these Albos who masquerade as Serbs. When did Serbia stop all efforts to withdraw recognition of your Kosova? Only yesterday Vucic announced in front of the White House of more withdrawals.
Stop worrying about Serbs and worry about your Albos in Kosova who live a bare existence.

Let’s look how these taxes are "hurting" Serbia. The Macedonians buy flour from Serbia at a cheap price, but sell their wheat to Kosova Albos charging 20% more than if the Albos bought from Belgrade. Brilliant strategy. I remember how the Albos counter argued on this site that tariffs were paid by Belgrade and not by their brethren, that is until reality set in.
When will talks recommence? The first is all tariffs have to be lifted and then all the parts of the Brussels Agreement implemented.
As I said around and around it goes with no end in sight. The west has no interest in settling this nor does Serbia. So, who gets the rough end of the pineapple? Yes, you guessed it, the Albos.

Do not we Serbs understand we have been beaten in our own game. The Albanians have accomplished what they set out to do, namely, they forced Serbia to stop all efforts to withdraw recognitions of Kosovo as an independent country. After all the Serbian money spent by Dacic to de-recognize the State of Kosova, where the money wasted could have been used to help the elderly and poor of Serbia live a dignified life they all deserve.
